Which stone is best for drainage in Putnam County?

Clean washed stone is what drains. #57 Limestone is a washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds where #57 is a shade too big. #8 Limestone suits tight joints and fine drainage.

What do I need to have ready for a bulk delivery?

Have the drop spot clear and firm enough for a dump truck, with room for the bed to tip. The truck tips the load in one pile on site, so pick a place you can work from. Order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Putnam County Crusher Run and Gravel Delivery, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Putnam County, WV. Crusher run is the base material most ground here is built on, and it is the one to sort out first.

Wet ground on the river terraces in late winter and early spring is what slows a base job across the Kanawha valley. Ordering ahead of that window keeps a project moving.

Ground Conditions Across Putnam County

Ground in this part of the state runs to two settings. Flat terrace ground near the river drains slowly and sits high on the water table.

Hillside lots behind take concentrated runoff off slopes that start right at the property line. Both settings punish a thin base.

On terrace ground, a drive built straight on river silt can lift with repeated freeze-thaw. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure locally rather than assuming one.

On the hillsides, cut and fill for a drive or a pad is the common trigger for slides and slumps. Slipping fill and steep slopes carry the base and drainage reasoning across most of West Virginia.

Plan for a drainage layer on the flat and slope protection on the hill. Build the base to suit the ground under it.

Materials Delivered in Putnam County

Crusher run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up 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. West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges.

Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its material requirement from Subsection 704.6. That subsection grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.

Class 1 base is the heavier base course, for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. It gives a tighter surface than the coarse base, and it works as a top course over Class 1.

Class 2 also names a riprap weight class, so say which one is meant.

67, No. 8 and No.

4. Treat those numbers as how material is specified and sold locally.

Riprap is bank and slope armour for creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout. Drain Rock serves French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

For finish work, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick. River Rock and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Choosing the Right Material

Cabell County shares this ground region, so the terrace sand, gravel and silt along the river and the steep shale and sandstone hillsides behind it are the same. Base and drainage choices follow the same reasoning there.

Jackson County sits in the Mid-Ohio Valley, over terrace sand, gravel and silt along the Ohio. Some of that ground is deep and free draining, which changes how much drainage stone a base needs.

Lincoln County is different again. Its hillsides are acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows and mine spoil on the old benches.

Flat ground is scarce there and much of what is flat is fill. That pushes a heavier base course and more attention to what sits under it.
