Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Surveyor, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Surveyor, WV, by the ton or by the yard. Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here, and it is the first thing to sort out on a steep lot.

Surveyor sits in Raleigh County, where flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. That shapes what you order and where it goes.

Materials for Surveyor Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection around Surveyor. Start at the top of the size range and work down to what the job actually needs.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets, and the toe of a slipping fill.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. It moves water fast where a finer stone would sit in it.

#4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone. Use it at construction entrances, trench bottoms, heavy drainage, and as the first lift over very soft ground.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed size for drainage beds and bedding where #57 runs a shade big.

On the finer end, #8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Ground and Conditions in Surveyor

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

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, this is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Slopes steeper than about 21 degrees carry nearly all of it, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material.

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

Acid mine drainage from abandoned workings has left hundreds of miles of stream in this region running acid. That is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

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

Questions About Stone in Surveyor

What stone should I use for drainage in Surveyor?

Clean washed stone moves water and does not hold it. #57 limestone and #67 stone suit French drains, pipe bedding and drainage beds, while #4 crushed stone handles trench bottoms and the first lift over soft ground.

Drain rock works for drywells and foundation drains. Keep fines out of a drainage layer.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one place and does not spread it, so pick a spot you can work from.

Have the grade ready and the ground firm enough to carry a loaded truck, and confirm your delivery date at checkout when you order.
