Renick sits in Greenbrier County, over clay soil weathered from the Greenbrier limestone. That ground changes with the weather, so the layers under a patio matter as much as the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Renick

Clay ground in the Greenbrier limestone valley holds water and will not take compaction until it has drained. A thin base over that clay shows the failure first: the pavers rock, the joints open and one corner drops.

The fix is a base built up in the right material, with the bedding layer kept thin and even on top of it. Class 1 base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads and slabs, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

This valley is karst country, with more than 2,000 caves across it. Surface water vanishes into sinkholes and sinking streams instead of running to a creek, and piping roof or driveway runoff to one point is how a new sinkhole opens.

So spread runoff rather than concentrating it, using clean stone where water needs to move. The working season runs from spring into late fall, cut short by wet clay, and repeated freeze-thaw at this elevation works on any drive built on clay without enough stone under it.

Materials for Renick Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the layer that decides whether a patio stays flat. Stone Screenings, also called stone dust, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Below the bedding, the base carries the load. Crusher Run, sold locally as 3/4 inch crusher run, is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade.

Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or a top course over a Class 1 base.

Where water has to move instead of sit, order clean washed stone. #8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, for paver joints, pipe bedding and a dressing over a compacted base.

For a drainage bed or a French drain, #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone, and 3/4 inch crushed stone covers drainage runs and downspout beds.

Finish work takes sand and soil. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers, while Mason Sand suits brick and block work and paver joints.

For lawns and beds over this thin, stony hillside soil, Top Soil grades and preps beds, and garden soil fills raised beds and planting holes.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Renick

What gravel is best for a driveway in Renick?

Start with crusher run, the everyday West Virginia drive material. Its fines lock up tight and hold a grade on a hillside drive.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build up with Class 1 base first, then cap it with Class 2 or driveway gravel for a tighter surface. Clean stone is for drainage, not for the drive surface.

How much material will my project need?

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you order rather than guessing at the pile.

Have your measurements ready when you work through it, then place the order online and pick a delivery date at checkout.
