Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Purgitsville, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Purgitsville, WV for drives, pads, drainage runs and garden work. If you are building a driveway, crusher run is the material that starts it.

This is the dry side of the state, so ground here takes water in fast bursts and sheds most of it. The base you put down has to hold a grade through that.

Materials for Purgitsville Projects

Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. Crushed stone with the fines left in, it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. See Crusher Run.

Where the ground is soft or you are building over old fill, step up to the heavier base course. West Virginia yards sell Class 1 Base as the coarser of the two crusher run classes, and it belongs under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

The finer class, Class 2, gives a tighter surface and works as a top course over Class 1.

For surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base, Driveway Gravel is the layer that takes the traffic.

Washed stone is the other half of the work here. #57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and a dressing over a compacted base. Where a drainage bed wants clean stone between those two sizes, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch washed stone.

Sand and soil round out a site. Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints.

Washed Sand is coarser and goes under slabs and pavers. Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep over thin, stony hillside ground.

For decorative work, River Rock is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and patio infill.

Ground and Conditions in Purgitsville

Across the Potomac ridges and valleys, water off steep slopes arrives quickly and concentrated in the valley bottoms. This is the dry side of the state, so an intense summer storm on dry, compacted ground sheds almost all of it instead of soaking in.

Soil on the ridges is shallow and full of rock fragments, with shaly, stony residual soil on the slopes and better ground between them. That is why a base course matters more than a surface layer on a lot of sites here.

Where a drive or pad sits on soft ground or old fill, build it up with Class 1 base before any surfacing goes on. Clean washed stone handles the water that runs off a slope or out of a downspout.

Slides are uncommon in this part of the state, but where they happen they are on slopes over about 20 degrees, in shale and sandstone residuum, and on over-steepened road cuts. Rock fall off undercut ledges is the other failure to watch.

Flash rises scour banks and culvert outlets, so Riprap armours a bank, a culvert outlet or the toe of a slipping fill.

The working season runs long in the valleys and shorter up on the ridges and in the upper hollows. Spring thaw and long autumn rain stop a base job sooner than midwinter cold does.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure, so confirm it locally before you plan footings.
