Start with crusher run, the local name for crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight and holds a grade, which matters on ground that runs water.

Ground and Conditions in Thomas

Across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, soil is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale. Bedrock sits close to the surface on the benches.

That shallow ground shows its weak spot fast. A thin base over rock and wet organic ground pumps, ruts and loses its crown, and the edges break away.

Rain and deep snowmelt cannot soak into steep, shallow soil, so water runs instead. Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope and will run straight through an undrained base.

Slides and slumps work on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium. Old timber roads and skidder trails add to it.

Mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks, culvert outlets and gravel road shoulders. Riprap and clean drainage stone take that punishment.

This is the shortest working season in West Virginia. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring, and it stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate.

Ground here freezes early, thaws late and cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring. Frost depth is set by the county building official, so confirm it locally.

Materials for Thomas Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork decides how the surface above it behaves. Get the bedding right and the pavers stay put through a freeze-thaw spring.

Stone Screenings are the standard bedding for pavers, flagstone and brick. Sold as screenings or stone dust, they pack into a tight, level bed.

Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers. It also works as concrete sand on flatwork.

Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes. It sweeps into joints and locks them.

Under all of that goes the base. Class 1 Base, the heavier crusher run class, is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run is the everyday base and drive material, sold by top size at 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or a top course over Class 1.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and a dressing over a compacted base. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for drainage and concrete work.
