#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Reader, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Reader, WV, and the first thing to settle is quantity. Each product page has a calculator, and you order by the ton or by the yard.

From there it comes down to material, and in this part of Wetzel County that conversation starts with crusher run.

Terrace ground along this stretch of the Ohio Valley drains well, while the silt and hillside soils behind it hold water. That split decides most of what you put down.

Materials for Reader Projects

Water is the job on a lot of ground around here, so washed stone and drainage work carry a lot of these projects. Clean stone has no fines in it, which means water moves through instead of sitting in the pile.

Start coarse and work down. #4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone, used at construction entrances, trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.

#57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone West Virginia quarries list for French drains, drywells, pipe bedding and downspout runs. Where that reads a shade too big, #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding.

For tighter work, #8 Limestone runs roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It suits paver joints, fine drainage and a dressing over a compacted base.

Drain Rock covers foundation drains and downspout runs on ground that sheds water fast.

Then come the materials that lock up. Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, crushed stone with the fines left in, so it holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Class 1 Base is the coarser of the two crusher run classes and the layer to build up over soft ground or old fill. Class 2 is the finer class, for a tighter surface or a top course over Class 1.

Ground and Conditions in Reader

This part of the state works a long season. What holds it up is wet ground and high water on the river flats in late winter and spring, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, terrace gravel drains well. The silt and clay above it and the hillside soils behind it do not, so water that leaves a roof or a slope needs somewhere to go.

Slides and slumps on the valley walls and on cut and fill are the other constant, along with river bank scour during high water. That is why a clean stone drainage layer and a fines-bearing base do different jobs on the same lot.

Winters are moderate with repeated freeze and thaw, and thin drives heave through late winter. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm it locally before footing work.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Reader?

It depends on the ground under it. Crusher Run is the everyday drive material here, and because the fines stay in, it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.
