Much of this ground is deep red clay weathered from the limestone valley, and that clay shapes what you put on top of it.

Ground and Conditions in Sinks Grove

Across the Greenbrier limestone valley, the soil is deep red and cherty clay over a sinkhole plain that is hollow underneath. Depth changes sharply over short distances, and rock ledges break the surface in the fields.

That clay holds water and will not take compaction until it has drained. A thin base over wet clay shows itself as ruts and pumping, where stone sinks instead of locking up.

Surface water here vanishes into sinkholes and sinking streams rather than running to a creek. Runoff wants spreading across the ground instead of being piped to one point, because concentrating it is how ground opens up.

Wet weather also sends water back up through the same openings. Build the base and the drainage with that two-way movement in mind.

Ground over a solution cavity can settle or collapse without any slope at all. Slopes of clay and the river banks scour after heavy rain.

The working season runs from spring into late fall, cut short by wet clay. Cold winters at higher elevations bring repeated freeze-thaw, and frost heave shows up in drives built on clay without enough stone under them.

Frost depth is set by the county building official. No state table gives a figure for these counties, so confirm it locally before you plan footings.

Materials for Sinks Grove Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways around Sinks Grove. Where a drive wants a tight surface instead of an open one, you order down in size rather than up.

Stone Screenings are crusher fines, also called stone dust or limestone screenings. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints between them.

Walkway Gravel gives paths, garden walks and side yards a finer, walkable surface. For a small rounded stone, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio infill.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up under a roller and holds a grade, so it works as the everyday base and drive material on a hillside.

Local quarries sell crusher run by top size, 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Class 1 Base is the heavier base course, for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and for building up over soft ground or old fill.

#89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight joints and thin bedding. 3/8" Crushed Stone is a fine clean chip for pipe bedding, joints and topping a compacted base.

For drainage, #57 limestone and #67 Stone are washed clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. River Rock and Large River Rock handle beds and dry creek beds.

Delivery to Sinks Grove and the Surrounding Area

Sinks Grove sits in Monroe County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Peterstown, Union, Ballard, Gap Mills and Greenville. You order online and pick your delivery date at checkout.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, so you choose the unit that matches how you planned the job. Each product page has a calculator, and the calculator is the place to size the load.

Point at it rather than working the numbers out on paper.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. Have the spot clear and reachable, with room for the truck to pull in and out, and the pile lands where the truck can tip it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot clear, level enough to tip onto, and open to the road, with no low wires, parked cars or soft ground in the way. Keep gates open and pets and children inside.

The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot you can work from, and have your tools and wheelbarrow ready before it backs in.

What is the best base under pavers in Sinks Grove?

Start with a compacted base of crusher run, then bed the pavers in stone screenings. The clay here will not take compaction until it has drained, so a wet subgrade needs to dry before anything goes on it.

Class 1 base is the heavier crusher run class for soft ground or old fill, with the finer Class 2 crusher run over it where you want a tighter surface.
