Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work, and the choice comes down to how you measured the job. Tons are a weight and yards are a volume, so the two do not swap straight across. Each product page has a calculator, and it will help you settle on a quantity before you order.

Which stone is best for drainage in Roane County?

Clean washed stone is what drains, because there are no fines in it to hold water. #57 limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for French drains and pipe bedding, #67 stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone where #57 runs big, and #8 limestone is a small chip for tight joints and thin bedding.

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

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for a dump truck to pull in and tip. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a firm, level place that will hold the weight. Choose your quantity and a delivery date at checkout, and the truck brings it to the address you give.

Roane County Crusher Run and Gravel Delivery, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Roane County, WV for contractors and homeowners alike. Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material around Spencer, Reedy and the hollows between them.

This is rolling hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, so a drive either locks up tight or it works loose on the first wet spell.

Materials Delivered in Roane County

Crusher run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. Those fines let it lock up under a roller and hold 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, and it goes under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

Class 2 also names a riprap weight class in West Virginia, so keep the two apart when you order.

67, No. 8 and No.

4. Those class and size numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.

Sand, decorative stone and mulch round out a load. Mason Sand beds brick and block, River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel cover beds and walkways, and Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a grade.

Delivery Across Roane County

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. Delivery covers Spencer, Reedy, Amma, Gandeeville, Left Hand, Looneyville, Newton and Walton.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. A firm, level place to tip keeps the pile where you want it and keeps the truck off soft ground.

Ground Conditions Across Roane County

Across the North central plateau and western hills, the ground runs from rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Slopes carry acid stony residuum, hollows collect colluvium, and narrow alluvial bottoms sit along the creek floors.

That ground shows a thin base fast. Water moves downslope, sits in the hollows, and a drive built on too little stone rutts and pumps within a season.

Erosion is the other half of it. This part of the state sees about 3.6 landslides per square mile, the second highest rate in West Virginia, and most of them sit on slopes over about 14 degrees.

Road cuts, development and timber cutting are the usual triggers, and creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest.

On the ground, that means a heavier base course where the subgrade is soft, clean stone for drainage instead of a fines-bearing material, and riprap on banks, culvert outlets and any slipping fill.

Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job, because this ground holds water and cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the local figure with the county or municipal official.

Choosing the Right Material

Clay County shares this ground region: steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, deep colluvium in the hollows, and mine spoil on the old benches. The base and drainage reasoning there is the same as it is here.

Jackson County sits in the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle ground region, where terrace sand, gravel and silt run deep and free draining along the river. That free-draining ground takes a lighter base course than the clay-rich slopes here.

Kanawha County spans more than one zone, taking in the Kanawha valley and the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, so its ground changes across the county rather than holding one condition.

For a drive or pad, crusher run is the base. Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build up with Class 1 base and tighten the surface with Class 2.

For drainage, use clean washed stone: #57 limestone, #67 stone or #8 limestone, depending on the opening the stone has to fit.
