What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular, with freshly broken faces, and it comes in sizes from crusher run fines up to coarse clean stone. Natural Pea Gravel is small rounded stone, sold here as 3/8 inch natural pea gravel. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it suits walkways, play areas and patio infill rather than a compacted base.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work, and the choice depends on how you want to size the load. Each product page has a calculator, and you pick the quantity you need before you check out. Order online, choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Which stone is best for drainage in Wayne County?

It depends on the job. #57 limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, while #8 limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage. #4 crushed stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and heavy drainage.

Wayne County Crusher Run and Gravel Delivery, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Wayne County, WV. Crusher run is the everyday base here, and the ground it goes on decides how much of it a drive or pad needs.

Much of the flat ground in this county is fill, and the hillsides behind the river flats are steep shale and sandstone. Soft ground and old fill take a heavier base course than firm ground does.

Materials Delivered in Wayne County

Crusher run 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 West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges.

Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its material requirement from Subsection 704.6, which grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A. Class 10 is footnoted there as crusher run material only.

Class 1 base is the heavier base course, for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and for building up over soft ground or old fill. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

4. West Virginia quarries sell sandstone under the same size numbers, so treat these as how material is specified and sold locally.

Ground Conditions Across Wayne County

The county spans two ground regions. Kenova, Wayne, Lavalette and Fort Gay sit on Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle ground, with terrace sand, gravel and silt along the river and steep shale and sandstone hillsides right behind.

Crum, Dunlow, East Lynn and Genoa sit on Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground, with steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium fills the hollows and narrow alluvial strips run along the creek bottoms.

On the river side, terrace gravel drains well while the silt and clay above it and the hillside soils behind do not. In the hollows, rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage from abandoned mines has left hundreds of miles of stream here running acid. That is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

The coalfields carry the most landslide-prone ground in the state, with mine regolith the most slide-prone material and shale and siltstone the most susceptible rock. Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

Work runs most of the year, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains.

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.

Choosing the Right Material

Mingo County and Lincoln County both sit on Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground, the same steep hillsides, acid residuum and hollow colluvium that the Crum, Dunlow, East Lynn and Genoa side of Wayne County has. The ground is the same, so the base and drainage reasoning carries over.

Cabell County is different. It sits on Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle ground, with terrace sand, gravel and silt along the Ohio and steep shale and sandstone hillsides immediately behind.

That terrace gravel is deep and free draining, so a base there sheds water that Wayne County hillside ground holds. On the coalfields side, a heavier base course and a clean drainage layer do more of the work.
