Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Smithville, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Smithville, WV, straight to your site. Start with the calculator, then pick your material.

Crusher run is the everyday base and drive stone around here, and it is the one to size first.

This is hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, with stony ground on the slopes and softer fill in the hollows. That ground decides what your base has to do.

Delivery to Smithville and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you buy.

Pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material on site. You can order from anywhere in Ritchie County, including Harrisville, Pennsboro, Pullman, Ellenboro and Cairo.

Bulk loads arrive loose, so think about where the truck can reach and where the pile should sit. Everything after that is your crew and your equipment.

Materials for Smithville Projects

Fill and sub-base come first on most ground here, because grade and building pads have to be built up before anything goes on top. That is the work that decides how the rest of the job holds.

For raising grade, filling a washout or backfilling behind a wall, Fill Dirt is the bulk material. It goes down before a base course, not instead of one.

On top of that, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is also the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Where the surface wants to be tighter than the coarse base gives, Crusher Run is the finer crusher run class. Class 2 refers to the aggregate base class here, and it works as a top course over a Class 1 base.

For a driveway, top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel. For a patio or paver area, bed the pavers on Stone Screenings and fill the joints with the same material.

Drainage is its own decision. #57 Limestone is a washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

If #57 runs a shade big for the bed, #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed size.

Ground and Conditions in Smithville

The ground here is rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Slopes carry acid stony residuum, hollows collect colluvium, and the narrow bottoms along the Little Kanawha and its feeders are alluvial.

That mix matters because an under-built base shows up fast. Water moves off these hills into narrow bottoms, so a pad or drive that does not shed water sits in it.

Erosion is real on this ground. Across the North central plateau and western hills, slope failures and creek bank scour after heavy rain are part of the picture, and road cuts and old fill are where it starts.

Work runs from spring into late fall. What stops a base job here is a long wet spell, not frost, because saturated clay-rich soil will not compact.

Spring thaw is also when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, harder in some parts of the state than others. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure with the local official for your site.

Questions About Ordering in Smithville

What is the best base under pavers in Smithville?

Build the base from the bottom up. On soft ground or old fill, start with Class 1 Base as the heavier course, then bring the surface tighter with Crusher Run as the finer crusher run class.

Bed the pavers on Stone Screenings. If the subgrade holds water or the pad sits low, put a clean drainage stone such as #57 Limestone under the edge of the work.
