#8 Limestone for Patios in Procious, WV

If you are setting pavers or pouring flatwork in Procious, WV, the load that decides how the job finishes is the bedding under it. West Virginia Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Procious, WV, from the base course up to the sand and chips that go on top.

Start with crusher run for anything that carries weight. The fines left in it lock up tight, which matters on ground that will not sit still.

Ground and Conditions in Procious

This is Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground. The hillsides are steep and covered in acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deeper colluvium down in the hollows.

Flat ground is scarce, and a lot of what looks flat is fill.

That is where a thin base shows itself first. A shallow layer of clean stone over soft fill or old spoil will not bridge anything, so the surface pumps, shifts and opens at the joints.

The fix is a real base course placed before the bedding goes down, not more bedding.

Water works the same way here. Narrow hollows funnel rain off long slopes into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream in this part of the state running acid, which is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

Drainage stone and riprap belong on that list before the finish material does.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before you set anything that depends on it.

Materials for Procious Projects

Bedding is the layer that makes a paver patio or a slab sit flat, and it has to be the right material for what is above it. Screenings, sold as stone dust in a lot of West Virginia yards, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Order Stone Screenings when the finish is thin and needs a tight, level bed.

Under that bed you still need something structural. Crusher Run, called crush and run locally, is the everyday base and drive material, and it comes by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, step up to Class 1 Base, the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives and as a top course over a Class 1 base.

For the small work around a patio, #8 Limestone is a washed chip running roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It beds pipe, fills tight joints and dresses over a compacted base.

Where #57 is a shade too big, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and concrete aggregate.

Sand finishes the job. Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes, and Washed Sand is the coarser one for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.
