Buy Fill Dirt in Shepherdstown, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Shepherdstown, WV, from a full line of base, stone, sand and soil. Crusher run, also called crush and run, anchors most of that work as the everyday base and drive material.

So does the grading side: fill dirt, topsoil and garden soil for yards working over the cherty clay soil of this limestone valley.

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials for Shepherdstown Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil and fill family. Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall before any base course goes on top.

Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground.

Under drives, pads and shop floors, the base family carries the load. Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for soft ground or old fill.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 runs a shade big.

Sand and decorative stone round the order out. Mason Sand beds brick and block, and Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers.

River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel finish beds, borders and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Shepherdstown

This part of the Eastern Panhandle limestone valley is the driest corner of West Virginia, in the mid 30s of inches a year. That matters less than where the water ends up.

Surface water disappears into sinkholes, swallets and solution channels instead of running off.

A yard can look dry and still be feeding water underground. Concentrating roof, gutter and driveway runoff into one spot is what opens a new sinkhole, so spread the flow rather than aiming it at a single low point.

The soil is deep, cherty clay weathered from limestone and dolostone, and rock is often shallow beneath it. Clay that holds water heaves and ruts a thin drive in late winter, when the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before footing work.

The working season here is the longest in the state. Base, drive and paver work runs from early spring into late fall, and a wet spell is what stops it rather than frozen ground.

Erosion is gentler than in the rest of West Virginia, but bare building sites and fields still wash, and banks scour after heavy rain.

What stone should I use for drainage in Shepherdstown?
