Bulk Gravel Delivery to Valley Head, WV

Ground here is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale, so what you put down has to suit the ground under it.

Ground and Conditions in Valley Head

Across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, soil is thin and stony and bedrock sits close to the surface on the benches. Water cannot soak in, so it runs.

This is the wettest ground in the state, and springs and seeps break out partway down a slope. A base with no drainage layer under it will hold that water and move.

Slides and slumps show up 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 they scour banks, culvert outlets and the shoulders of gravel roads. Plan drainage before you plan surface.

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 freezes early and thaws late here, and it cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring. That cycle tears up a thin gravel drive.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, so confirm it locally.

Materials for Valley Head Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the material decision that holds a patio or walk together. Get the bedding wrong and the surface rocks, settles and holds water.

Start with Crusher Run, the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so 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, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

For the heavier layer under a pad or slab, use Class 1 Base. It is the coarser of the two crusher run classes, and it is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or as a top course over Class 1.

Bed pavers on Stone Screenings, the crusher fines sold as screenings or stone dust. They set a paver, flagstone or brick course and fill the joints between them.

Level and bed flatwork on Washed Sand, the coarser washed sand. Use Mason Sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes.

Under the bedding, put clean stone that drains. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

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

On a bank or a culvert outlet, Riprap armours the slope. It is sold by stone size and by weight class, and Class 2 in that sense means a riprap weight class, not a base class.
