Materials for War Projects

Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here. 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, and Crusher Run covers both the coarse and the finer class. West Virginia yards also sell it as Class 2, the finer class, where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface.

When the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build up with the heavier base course first. Class 1 Base is the coarser of the two crusher run classes and the layer under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

For the drive surface itself, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base on a long hollow drive. Walkway Gravel gives paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.

Smaller chips finish tight work. #8 Limestone is a washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and a dressing over a compacted base.

Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Sand and soil round out a site. Mason Sand is fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints, and Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony hillside ground. Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall before a base course goes on top.

Ground and Conditions in War

Rain and snowmelt off long, steep slopes funnel into one creek and one road. A drive here takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches decide how the surface holds up.

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, and much of what is flat is fill.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock, with unreclaimed workings, road cuts and sidecast fill the usual triggers.

That shapes what you order. Soft fill and saturated hillside ground will not compact, so a base course goes on ground that has drained, and clean stone carries water away from a slope rather than holding it.

Work runs most of the year and is held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Freeze-thaw repeats all winter, and the worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. The nearest published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, so confirm the local one before you set anything in the ground.
