Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Ranger, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ranger, WV, and crusher run is the base most ground around here gets built on. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Ranger sits in Lincoln County, where flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. That changes what you order.

Materials for Ranger Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection here. The steep ground sheds water fast, so the stone that armours a bank or lines a swale is the first order on a lot of jobs.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets, toe protection under a slipping fill, and channel work after a washout.

#4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It suits construction entrances, trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. On ground that will not stop moving, it holds where finer stone will not.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #8 Limestone is a smaller washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage.

For the drive itself, Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, and Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

Delivery to Ranger and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Each product page has a calculator if you need to size a load. Delivery covers Ranger and the rest of Lincoln County, including Hamlin, Alum Creek, West Hamlin, Harts and Alkol.

Bulk loads want room. On a narrow hollow road or a tight turnaround, think about where a truck can get in and out before the delivery date you pick.

Ground and Conditions in Ranger

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

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows. Flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill.

Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill. Culverts and ditches decide everything.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. Confirm the local figure before you plan anything that goes in the ground.

Questions About Stone in Ranger

What stone should I use for drainage in Ranger?

Clean washed stone is what drains. #57 Limestone, #8 Limestone and 3/4 inch crushed stone all work for French drains, downspout beds and pipe bedding.

For heavy drainage or a first lift over soft ground, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarser choice. Riprap handles bank and slope armour where water runs hard against the ground.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Pick a clear spot the truck can reach and back out of, and keep it open on your delivery date. The load is tipped in one pile, so the ground under it should be firm enough to hold the stone.

Sizing the load before you order is easier with the calculator on each product page.
