Customer Stories

“Take care of the grounds for a handful of short term rental cabins around Aurora, and every changeover season the entrance beds need a fresh layer before new guests arrive for leaf season. Used to buy bagged mulch by the truckload from the hardware store, which got expensive fast and never quite matched from bag to bag. Switched to ordering bulk through West Virginia Rock Supply this year, eight yards delivered right to the gravel turnaround where I could load the truck straight from the pile. Color is consistent across the load, and it's held its look through two rounds of heavy mountain rain without washing onto the walkways.”

“Laid a short path to the woodshed behind the house in Man, just under a ton of walkway gravel. Comfortable underfoot, though the color came in grayer than the online photo. Still looks decent against the siding.”

“Entrance beds for our HOA in Middlebourne needed a refresh before the annual meeting, and West Virginia Rock Supply got us three yards of shredded mulch out within two days of ordering. Dark and finely shredded, no big chunks of bark to kick out onto the road. Beds looked sharp for the meeting and still do two months later.”

“Laid a paver walkway around the side of the house in Cross Lanes and used gravel sand from West Virginia Rock Supply as the base layer under the bedding sand. Compacted hard with a rented plate tamper and gave the whole path a solid, stable feel underfoot right from day one. A ton and a half covered the full run with a little to spare.”

“Filled a sandbox for the grandkids in the backyard in Poca with mason sand, figured a half ton would be plenty. Ended up needing another few hundred pounds to get it deep enough. Soft and clean, no rocks at all.”

“Mix a lot of our own concrete on site for smaller pours around Marmet instead of ordering ready mix, and washed sand quality makes or breaks the finish. West Virginia Rock Supply delivered four tons clean and consistent, no clay balls or debris mixed in like we've gotten from other yards. Finished surface came out smooth every time this job.”

“Handled a ditch that kept washing out below a culvert on a job outside Purgitsville, right where two farm roads meet. West Virginia Rock Supply got us nine tons of riprap out to the site on short notice, and the tri axle placed it right along the ditch bank where we staked it. Held through a hard spring runoff with zero washout, which the county road crew actually asked about.”

“Our elementary school out in Hamlin wanted a walking path around the new raised bed garden so kids could reach each row without trampling the plants. The PTA had already tried bagged pea gravel that scattered everywhere within a month. This time we ordered two and a half tons of walkway gravel in bulk, and it arrived Friday morning right when the driver said, dumped in one pile at the edge of the lot so volunteers could wheelbarrow it in over the weekend. It stays put far better than the bagged stuff ever did, and after a full spring of recess traffic the path still looks clean.”

“We're up in years and just wanted our gravel road fixed before winter, so we called West Virginia Rock Supply after the quarry in town never returned our calls. Ten tons went down over the worst ruts leading to our place near Point Pleasant, and the driver was patient backing down our narrow lane. Six months of freeze and thaw and it hasn't budged an inch.”

“Sell vegetable starts every spring out of a little greenhouse operation near West Union, and customers always ask what to fill their new raised beds with. Started stocking garden soil by the yard so folks don't have to drive to the city for it. Two yards filled my own demonstration beds out front, and the plants there are always the ones people point at first.”

“Run a little feed and tack shop in Rainelle and customers were parking half in the ditch during busy weekends. West Virginia Rock Supply delivered seven tons of road base for an overflow lot beside the building, and the driver placed it exactly along the line we'd marked with paint. Packed in solid after one pass with a rented roller, and it's held through a full spring of wet weekends.”

“Mixed my own concrete for a small pad behind the garage in Nitro, using number 8 for the aggregate. Turned out great once cured, though the online calculator undersold how much I'd need and I had to reorder.”

“Took on a flagstone patio job for a family outside New Martinsville and needed a clean bedding layer that would screed out flat under the irregular stone shapes. Ordered through West Virginia Rock Supply, three and a half tons of the 3/8 inch, and it came in dry and consistent, no clumps to sift out before spreading. The driver got the tandem close enough to the backyard gate that we barely needed the wheelbarrows at all. Screeded it level in an afternoon, set the flagstone the next day, and it's still tight and even after a full winter of freeze and thaw up on that ridge.”

“The outfall where our downspout empties into the side yard in Frankford had washed a bare trench every time it stormed. Large river rock from West Virginia Rock Supply across the whole run stopped the erosion cold, about a ton and a half spread from the house to the ditch. Looks like it belongs there instead of a patch job, and it's held solid through a wet spring.”

“Managing three rental units on the same street in Martinsburg, so when the driveways started potholing I ordered nine tons of 57 to fix all three at once. Delivery ran about an hour past the window they gave me, but the driver called ahead and placed it exactly where the tenants needed. Compacted well and no complaints since, though I'll pad the schedule next time.”

“Winter left our gravel driveway outside Rupert full of potholes deep enough to rattle the truck every morning. Seven tons of driveway gravel from West Virginia Rock Supply filled them in and topped the whole thing off evenly. The driver spread it in a long pass instead of one big pile, which saved my back a lot of raking. Looks and drives like new heading into summer.”

“Prepped several shed pads and a connecting path for a client's backyard outside Sophia this spring, and wanted something finer than crusher run for the topcoat that would still compact hard. Stone screenings turned out right, seven tons covering three small pads and the path between them. We'd used plain sand on a similar job years ago and it never held its shape the way this does once tamped. The driver split the load into three piles right where we'd flagged, saving plenty of wheelbarrow trips. Two months in with a couple of good storms, the surface is still tight with no washouts or low spots.”

“Redid the foundation beds for a client's house in Welch, swapping out overgrown junipers for a clean river rock bed instead. Ordered two tons through West Virginia Rock Supply and the size mix was good, mostly fist sized with a few bigger accent pieces scattered in. Client loves the low maintenance look, and it's held its place through a rough patch of mountain weather this spring.”

“We fenced a small run-in shed for the horses on our place outside Union and needed something that would pack hard enough for hooves and a daily wheelbarrow of manure. Six tons of crusher run went down over the softest corner of the paddock where rain always collected off the barn roof. The driver eased the tandem along the fence line and dumped it in two piles exactly where my son had flagged with orange tape. After a full year of horses standing on it through every kind of weather, there's still no mud and no low spots.”

“The space under our raised deck outside Nutter Fort stayed muddy and unusable until we filled it with pea gravel from West Virginia Rock Supply, about a ton and a quarter spread over weed barrier. Now it's a dry spot for the kids' toys even after a hard rain, and it doesn't track into the house on little feet like the mud used to.”

“Our rental in Bridgeport has a long gravel driveway that turns into washboard every winter once the frost starts working the ground. We'd bought bags from the hardware store for years and never made a dent, so this spring we finally ordered in bulk, eight tons of 67 stone through West Virginia Rock Supply. The driver called thirty minutes out, backed down the lane without hitting the mailbox, and dumped it in one clean pile at the top like we asked. Two months and one heavy thunderstorm later, the surface is tight and even, nothing like the loose bags ever managed.”

“A little roadside stand near Levels kept losing gravel from the ditch out front every time it stormed. Ordered what the online calculator said for riprap along the ditch, but ended up a ton short once we saw how much it would take to cover the full run. Still, once finished it stopped the washing completely.”

“Poured a base for a new gravel driveway on a job in Weston, six tons of crusher run through West Virginia Rock Supply since the quarry we usually call was backed up two weeks. Compacted clean with the plate tamper and held perfectly under the topcoat we added the next day. Client's thrilled with how solid it feels compared to the old dirt track that was there before.”

“Laid a small walkway from the driveway to the shed in Parkersburg using 3/8 inch crushed stone. Looks tidy and stays put underfoot, though it kicked up more dust than I expected while spreading it. A hose down settled that.”

“Built a dry creek swale through a low spot in a client's yard outside Lindside where water used to sheet across the lawn after every storm. Ordered four tons of large river rock through West Virginia Rock Supply and the size mix worked perfectly for a natural look, no two rocks the same. Client's mowing around it now instead of through standing water.”

“Set a small flagstone patio off the back porch in Delbarton using screenings from West Virginia Rock Supply as the bedding layer. Screeds out smooth and fine, way easier to work with than the coarser stone I tried on a different project last year. Two tons covered the whole patio footprint with plenty left over for the joints.”

“Our gravel road up to the house outside Marlinton turns into a bog every time the snow melts off the mountain, and last spring the propane truck flat out refused to come up. Fifteen tons of number 4 went down over the worst stretch near the creek crossing, tamped in with the tractor bucket over a weekend. West Virginia Rock Supply got a truck up our grade without trouble, dumping it in two piles right where we flagged. One full spring since, and the road holds even after three days of steady rain.”

“First house, first big yard project, and I had no idea what I was doing until the folks at West Virginia Rock Supply talked me through how much I'd need to backfill a small retaining wall behind our place in Elkins. Ended up with about four tons, delivered on a Tuesday morning right on schedule. Compacts nicely and the wall hasn't shifted through a full winter of freezing and thawing.”

“After we lost our culvert to a flash flood off the branch behind the house near Grantsville, I figured I'd redo the whole crossing right instead of patching it again. Bought three tons of number 8 for bedding the new pipe and finishing a short walkway up to the porch afterward. The driver from West Virginia Rock Supply backed his tandem right up the gravel lane, which I honestly didn't think he'd manage given how narrow it is, and dumped it exactly where my grandson had marked with stakes. A year on through one nasty ice storm and the crossing hasn't budged, and the walkway still looks brand new.”

“Our driveway climbs a good grade up from the road outside Philippi, and every winter it turned into a sheet of ice over bare dirt. Eleven tons of 3/4 inch crushed stone locked together nicely once it was down and gives the tires something to bite into now. First real winter on it and we haven't slid once, even during that ice storm in January.”

“Run a small storage lot on the edge of Beckley and needed better drainage under three camper pads that kept holding water after storms. Five tons of 67 solved it, spread and tamped by hand since our lot's too tight for a skid steer. Renters have already noticed the difference, no more puddles under the trailers.”

“Feeding area for the cattle outside Capon Bridge turns into a mess every winter once the ground softens up. Put down eight tons of railroad ballast from West Virginia Rock Supply around the hay rings and it drains better than anything we've tried, though a few pieces were sharp enough to watch for around bare feet and hooves both. Worth it for how fast it dries out after rain.”

“Laid a small paver patio off the back deck out near Kingwood and used 89 stone for the bedding layer under the pavers. Preston County ground heaves something awful every winter, but the bedding stayed put through last year's freeze and the pavers never shifted. Easy to screed level, even for a first timer like me.”

“Poured a small equipment pad behind our shop near Buffalo and mixed the concrete ourselves with gravel sand from West Virginia Rock Supply instead of paying extra for ready mix. Four tons handled the pad plus a little walkway to the side door. Cured up strong, no cracking through the first winter, and cost a fraction of what the ready mix truck would have charged.”

“Manage a handful of rental units around Eleanor and finally got tired of the brick paver walkways heaving every winter from a soft base that was never done right originally. Redid two of the walkways this year with gravel sand as the base layer instead of whatever loose fill was under there before. Ordered six tons total for both jobs, and the driver split it between the two properties in one trip, saving us a second delivery fee. Only ding is the invoice came in a little higher than quoted because of a fuel surcharge nobody mentioned up front. The base compacted tight and both walkways have stayed flat since.”

“Our bottomland road out to the back fields near Slanesville stays wet nearly year round from a high water table, and regular gravel just disappeared into the mud within a season. Switched to railroad ballast this time, fourteen tons, and it drains fast enough that the equipment doesn't sink even after a week of rain. Best money we've spent on that road in years.”

“Front bed outside our little shop in Madison needed something sturdier than mulch since folks kept parking on the edge of it downtown. Two and a half tons of river rock went in and it hasn't budged despite a few tires clipping the edge already. Only downside is a couple of pieces came in bigger than the rest of the batch, but it still looks even once spread out.”

“Our farm dog's run out by Moorefield turned into a bog every time it rained off the ridge behind the barn. Two tons of 3/8 inch stone fixed the drainage and it's small enough on her paws that she doesn't mind lying on it in the sun. Held up fine through a wet fall and the mud is finally gone for good.”

“Three tons of 3/4 inch crushed stone for a short parking pad in Hurricane. Good stone, locks up solid. Ran about half a ton short of what the calculator said, so we ordered a top off a few days later.”

“Our little farm pond outside Baker started eroding right below the spillway after a couple of heavy storms last year. Riprap from West Virginia Rock Supply along the toe of the dam, about five tons, fixed it for good. The driver eased the tandem down the pond road without tearing up the grass, and it's held through a full season of runoff since.”

“Needed a dry path from the house down to the equipment shed on our place near Williamson, one that wouldn't turn slick when it rained off the hill behind us. West Virginia Rock Supply delivered three tons of walkway gravel right on schedule, and it's small enough that my boots don't slide even when it's wet. Held its shape through a soggy fall with zero maintenance.”

“Our subdivision entrance sign in Wayne sat in a bed of mulch that washed onto the road every hard rain, and the HOA had replaced it twice in one year before anyone suggested stone instead. We ordered five tons of river rock for both beds flanking the sign, a completely different look from the bagged rock we'd tried before, which scattered everywhere within weeks. The tri axle dropped it in two piles right at the curb so we could wheelbarrow it in without crossing anyone's yard. A year later, through plenty of storms, it hasn't moved and the entrance finally looks like something people notice.”

“Finished our first paver patio project outside Winfield this fall and used mason sand from West Virginia Rock Supply to fill the joints between the pavers. Swept in easy with a push broom and a little water set it right where it needed to be. Half a ton was more than enough for a patio that size, with plenty left over for touch ups.”

“Old house in Wheeling with maybe four feet between it and the neighbor's, and water always sheeted through there during storms. Filled the strip with a ton of 3/8 inch crushed stone over a drain pipe, and it's kept the water moving instead of pooling against the foundation. Tenants haven't mentioned a wet basement since it went in last fall.”

“Needed a fine sand for repointing a stone chimney on my in-laws' house outside Sissonville, so I grabbed a ton and a half of mason sand from West Virginia Rock Supply. Mixed clean with no clumps or debris, and the mortar troweled on smooth. Chimney looks solid heading into another Kanawha Valley winter.”

“Took on a paver walkway and a small concrete apron for a client outside Rand, and needed washed sand for both the leveling course under the pavers and mixing a bit of concrete for the apron edge. Ordered five tons total, split between the two uses, and the driver was good about dumping it in two separate piles so we didn't have to shovel it twice across the yard. Screeded the leveling course dead flat in about an hour, and mixed clean for the concrete with no clumps. Two months later through a good stretch of rain, the pavers haven't shifted and the apron edge holds its line.”

“Needed a proper turnaround at the end of our camp road outside Rowlesburg so trucks pulling trailers could actually turn without backing down half a mile. Twelve tons of road base went in and compacted tight within a day. Hunting season traffic all fall didn't leave a mark on it, which is more than I can say for the old cinders that used to be there.”

“Tried regular gravel for the feeding area behind the barn outside Gilbert for two years running and it kept disappearing into the mud by February. Six tons of railroad ballast from West Virginia Rock Supply this fall was a completely different story, drains almost as fast as it rains and the cattle aren't standing in slop anymore. Should have switched years ago.”

“Our dog run behind the house near Salem was nothing but dirt and fleas until we put down two tons of the 3/8 inch pea gravel with edging on both sides. Smooth on her paws, doesn't hold odor like dirt did, and it's stayed inside the edging through a full year of her digging and zooming around after squirrels.”

“Put down crusher run for a small parking pad beside the garage in Danville, about three tons total. Packs down hard, though it kicked up more dust than expected on a dry day. Wetting it first would help.”

“Our small school outside Athens needed overflow parking for the fall festival, so we put down nine tons of road base in the field next to the gym. Compacted well with a borrowed roller and held up fine through the whole weekend of cars driving in and out. Only complaint is the color came out lighter and dustier than we pictured from the description online.”

“Hauled six tons of 67 up to a camp road out past Webster Springs to redo the pad in front of the cabin where the old gravel had washed thin. Driver got the truck up fine and spread it close to where we wanted. Only gripe is the stone came in grayer than the picture online, which threw off matching it to the older gravel out front.”

“Built a low retaining wall along our garden terrace on the hillside outside Pineville after losing half the bed to a mudslide two springs ago. This time we wanted the drainage done right. Ordered four and a half tons of drain rock from West Virginia Rock Supply, and the driver got the tandem close enough to the terrace that we only had to wheelbarrow it about twenty feet. Packed it behind a strip of filter fabric before backfilling with soil. Two wet seasons and one storm that dumped four inches in a day later, the wall hasn't moved and the garden bed above it stayed put too.”

“The dog run behind our garage in Oak Hill turned into a mud pit every time it rained, and the smell got bad fast. Two tons of 89 stone went down over fabric, and now it drains almost as soon as the rain stops. No more muddy paw prints on the porch since it went in.”

“Our new build in Mineral Wells left nothing but scraped clay once the excavator finished, not a lick of good soil left to grow anything in. We ordered eight yards of top soil through West Virginia Rock Supply and had the driver drop it in three piles spaced across the lot so we weren't wheelbarrowing it the length of the yard. Raked and leveled it out over a weekend, and we had sod down the following week. Everything took root fast and the yard looks like it's been there for years already.”

“Ordered six tons to fill a low spot by the barn outside Summersville where water kept pooling. Material drains great, though a few pieces ran bigger than baseball size for a number 4. Still got the job done.”

“The addition at our elementary school left a strip of raw subsoil across half the play yard in Elizabeth. Three yards of top soil went down evenly, needing just a light rake before the crew seeded it a week later. Grass filled in fast and the kids have their field back.”

“Three tons of stone screenings went down behind our farm stand where we rinse crates and hose off produce all day. That spot used to stand in a foot of gray sludge by noon. Now it drains through fast and dries in the sun before the next batch comes off the truck. The Saturday morning tri-axle got there before we even opened the stand.”

“Our little congregation outside Spencer needed a proper walkway from the gravel lot to the front steps instead of the mud path we'd had for years. A ton and a half of number 8 from West Virginia Rock Supply finished it off on top of the base rock, and it's foot friendly enough for the older folks with canes. Looks sharp and drains fast after rain.”

“Bordered a small dry creek bed through the side yard in Renick with large river rock, about two tons. Most pieces are a nice rounded size, but a few came in bigger than I could lift alone.”
