Bulk Aggregates for Erosion Control in Spurlockville, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Spurlockville, WV, and crusher run is the base most ground here starts from. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

This is steep country. Slopes shed water fast, and the ground below them needs coarse stone before it needs anything else.

Materials for Spurlockville Projects

On ground this steep, coarse stone does the heavy work. It armours banks, fills swales and slows water before it reaches a culvert or a driveway.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class.

#4 Crushed Stone is a coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It suits trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. It is sold as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia drive and base material. Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface.

Clean washed stone handles the water that coarse base cannot. #57 Limestone is a washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, fine drainage and pipe bedding.

Delivery to Spurlockville and the Surrounding Area

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Spurlockville and the rest of Lincoln County, including Hamlin, Alum Creek, West Hamlin, Harts and Alkol. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order. A dump truck then tips the material on your site as one pile.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. On a narrow hollow road, that means room to turn and a firm place to set the pile.

Ground and Conditions in Spurlockville

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium sits in the hollows, and flat ground is scarce.

Much of what is flat is fill.

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

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, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

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

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. Confirm the local figure before you set anything below grade.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Spurlockville

What stone should I use for drainage in Spurlockville?

Use clean washed stone, because fines block water. #57 limestone is a washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains and pipe bedding.

#8 limestone is a smaller washed chip for tight joints and fine drainage. For heavy drainage and trench bottoms, #4 crushed stone is a coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm drop spot that a dump truck can reach and turn around in. The driver tips the load as one pile and does not spread it, so leave the area where you want the stone open.

On a narrow hollow road, make sure the approach is passable before your delivery date.
