Bulk Aggregates for Erosion Control in Slatyfork, WV

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Slatyfork, WV, the first question is usually what to put on the ground you are losing. West Virginia Rock Supply sells bulk stone by the ton and delivers it to your site.

In this part of the Allegheny highlands, that work starts with crusher run. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Materials for Slatyfork Projects

On steep ground, water moves fast and takes soil with it. Coarse stone is what holds a slope, lines a swale and armours a bank before anything finer goes down.

Start with the big sizes. Riprap, sold here as rip rap or channel stone, is bank and slope armour for creek banks, culvert outlets and toe protection under slipping fill.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and the worst drainage. #4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone, used at construction entrances, trench bottoms and as a first lift over very soft ground.

Mid sizes handle drainage that has to stay open. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs.

#67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed equivalent where #57 is a shade too big.

Then the fines-bearing material for a surface that has to stay put. Crusher Run carries the fines that let it lock up and hold a grade.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads and slabs over soft ground or old fill.

Ground and Conditions in Slatyfork

Across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, the working season is the shortest in West Virginia. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring.

It also stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate, and snow cover lasts for weeks at a time on the high benches. Time a delivery around that window rather than against it.

The ground makes the same point. Thin, acid, very stony soil sits over sandstone and shale, with bedrock close to the surface on the benches.

Rain and deep snowmelt cannot soak in, so water runs, and springs and seeps break out partway down a slope.

That is why slope, swale and bank work leads here. An undrained base lets a seep run straight through it, and slides and slumps on the steeper slopes in shale and colluvium are the usual result.

Ground freezes early and thaws late on this side of the state. Frost depth is set by the county building official, so confirm it locally for any footing work.

Questions About Stone in Slatyfork

What stone should I use for drainage in Slatyfork?

Use clean washed stone that water passes through. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch size for French drains and pipe bedding, and #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch size where #57 is a shade too big.

For heavy drainage and trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarser choice.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable drop spot where the truck can tip its pile and pull away. The load is tipped in one pile, so the spot you choose is where the material stays.

Pick your delivery date at checkout before the truck is scheduled.
