Fill and Base Material Delivered in Union, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Union, WV, with crusher run as the base material this market builds on. The ground here is deep red and cherty clay weathered from the Greenbrier limestone, and it changes depth sharply over short distances.

That clay decides how much stone a pad or drive needs under it. Order online and the load arrives on site.

Delivery to Union and the Surrounding Area

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 help sizing the load.

A dump truck tips the material in one pile at the address you give. West Virginia Rock Supply delivers across Union and Monroe County, including Peterstown, Ballard, Gap Mills, Greenville and Lindside.

Bulk loads are heavy, so it helps to have the drop point reachable by a truck before the delivery date. Everything else is handled on the order itself.

Materials for Union Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the work this ground asks for first. On clay that shifts depth over a few feet, fill and sub-base go down before any surface material does.

Fill dirt is bulk material for raising grade, filling a washout or backfilling behind a wall. It goes in first, and a base course goes on top of it.

Class 1 base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

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.

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 base.

For a driveway, crusher run or Class 1 base under a surface layer of driveway gravel covers most situations. For a patio, washed sand levels and beds the surface, and stone screenings bed pavers and fill joints.

For a drain, #57 limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #67 stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.

Ground and Conditions in Union

Across the Greenbrier limestone valley, the soil is deep red and cherty clay over a sinkhole plain that is hollow underneath. Rock ledges surface in the fields, and soil depth changes sharply over short distances.

That matters because a base built to one depth can sit on solid ground at one end of a pad and on a solution cavity at the other. Where the clay is thin, the stone under a drive has less to bear on than it looks.

Water moves through karst rather than across it. Surface water vanishes into sinkholes, sinking streams and swallets instead of running to a creek, so runoff wants spreading rather than concentrating at one point.

Wet weather also brings water back up through the same openings. The working season runs from spring into late fall and gets cut short by wet clay, which holds water and will not take compaction until it has drained.

Freeze-thaw at this elevation works on drives built on clay without enough stone under them. Frost depth here is set by the county building official, so confirm the figure locally.

Questions About Ordering in Union

What is the best base under pavers in Union?

Class 1 base is the heavier base course, and Class 2 base gives a tighter surface as a top course over it. On the clay here, build the base up until it is stable, then bed the pavers in washed sand or stone screenings.

Both hold a level surface better than clay alone.
