Bulk Aggregates for Erosion Control in Pursglove, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pursglove, WV, and around Monongalia County. This is hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, with clay-rich soil that holds water and slopes that shed it fast.

Crusher run is the local base material most drives and pads here start from, and it is where a stable surface begins. From there, the right stone size decides how a slope, swale or creek bank holds up.

Materials for Pursglove Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is coarse stone work. The bigger angular sizes are what keep a bank in place and move water off a steep grade before it cuts a channel.

#4 Crushed Stone is a 1-1/2 inch clean stone with no fines in it. Use it for trench bottoms, construction entrances, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Riprap is bank and slope armour, sold by stone size and by weight class. It goes on creek and hollow banks, at culvert outlets, and at the toe of a slipping fill.

Railroad Ballast is a coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage where water needs to move through fast.

Drain Rock is clean stone for French drains, drywells and foundation drains. It is the size to reach for when a swale or downspout run has to shed water quickly.

For the layers under all of that, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Where a pad wants a tighter surface, Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class and works as a top course over Class 1.

Ground and Conditions in Pursglove

Across the North central plateau and western hills, work runs from spring into late fall. What usually stops a base job is a long wet spell, not frost, because saturated ground cannot be compacted.

Repeated freeze-thaw is hard on a gravel drive, and spring thaw is when a drive shows what its base is worth. In this part of the state, runoff comes off the hills into narrow bottoms.

That ground also carries a real landslide risk on the steeper slopes, with road cuts, development and timber cutting among the usual triggers, and creek bank scour after heavy rain doing the rest.

On slopes that steep, a coarse clean stone layer lets water through where a fines-bearing material would hold it. Plan the drainage course and the bank protection before the surface stone goes down.

Questions About Stone in Pursglove

What stone should I use for drainage in Pursglove?

For a French drain, drywell or foundation drain, clean washed stone is what works, because it has no fines to lock up and block water. #57 limestone and #67 stone are the usual sizes, with #8 limestone for tighter pipe bedding.

On a soft trench bottom, #4 crushed stone goes in first as a coarse lift.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, level spot the truck can back into and tip its load without overhead wires or low branches in the way. Decide where the pile goes before the truck reaches you, because it tips in one pile and the driver does not spread or move it.

Keep gates open and pets and vehicles clear of the drop zone.
