Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Sod, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Sod, WV to your driveway, garden or building pad. If you are grading a lawn, bedding a patio or topping a drive, the load starts with crusher run and the fines left in it.

This is steep hillside ground, and what is flat is often old fill. That shapes what you put down and how you prep it.

Materials for Sod Projects

Grading and bed prep come first here, because thin hillside soil will not grow much on its own. That means soil, fill and a base that holds a grade once the ground under it is right.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Top Soil is screened soil for lawns, grading and bed prep. Spread it over stony ground and seed into it.

Garden Soil goes in raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground. It gives roots something loose to work in.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall. It goes in before a base course on top.

Shredded Mulch knits together on beds, tree rings and slopes, so it stays put on a grade better than nuggets.

Base and Drive Material

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch and coarser.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Build it up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. It gives a tighter surface than the coarse base, and it works as a top course over Class 1.

Washed Stone and Sand

#57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #8 Limestone is the small chip for paver joints, fine drainage and dressing a compacted base.

Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand is the finer sand for brick and block work and paver joints.

Decorative and Slope Stone

River Rock is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Riprap is bank and slope armour for creek banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

Ground and Conditions in Sod

Rain and snowmelt off long, steep slopes funnel into one creek and one road. A drive here takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches decide how it holds up.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. The hollows carry deep colluvium and the creek bottoms are narrow alluvial strips.

This is landslide-prone ground. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so it should not be built on until it drains. Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold.

Freeze-thaw repeats all winter, and the worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before you set anything in the ground.

What stone should I use for drainage in Sod?

Clean washed stone is what drains. #57 limestone is 1 inch clean stone for French drains and pipe bedding, and #8 limestone is the smaller chip for tight spots and fine drainage.

Drain Rock works for drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. Keep fines-bearing crusher run out of a drainage run, because the fines stop the water moving.
