#78 Crushed Stone in West Virginia

A hollow driveway or hillside wall can collect seepage from above after rain, and the drainage detail needs to guide that water toward a pipe instead of leaving it against the work. #78 Crushed Stone provides clean, washed chips with angular faces and limited fine material. Those features leave open spaces in the stone for drainage-focused placement on West Virginia slopes.

Use this material as pipe bedding or as the stone layer behind a retaining wall after the drainage path has been planned. It can also serve beneath permeable pavers or in a walkway base. On shale slopes and around hillside springs, place the stone in the drainage portion of the build, not as a substitute for the full supporting structure under a driveway. Catching seepage above the drive and carrying it across through a pipe remains important where grade and runoff meet.

Paver Drainage Bedding

Use it as bedding and joint fill for permeable pavers, allowing rainwater to drain through the surface.

Wall and Foundation Drainage

These clean chips create an open layer that moves water behind retaining walls, beside foundations, and beneath walkways.

Pipe Support

Use the small angular stone to cradle drain and utility pipe, giving it even support with few open spaces.

Patio and Walk Base

For a draining foundation beneath paths, patios, or shed pads, spread and compact this material into a solid layer.

Fast Water Flow

Washed chips with little to no fines allow water to pass through quickly.

Stays Put

Because the pieces have angular sides, they catch against each other more than rounded gravel does.

Simple Hand Spreading

You can level these small chips by hand using a rake or screed in compact residential spaces.

Useful Across the Job

The material works for drainage areas, pipe bedding, and base layers on one project.
