Materials delivered in Webster County
Material is sold here by the size on the load ticket, the way local yards list it.
Crusher run, also called crush and run, is the everyday base and drive material in West Virginia. It comes 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 and 1-1/2 inch and coarser.
It is specified locally 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.
Base and subbase aggregate is graded by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.
West Virginia yards sell Class 1 base as the coarser of the two crusher run classes. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, and it sits under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

Ground conditions across Webster County
Across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, the soil is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale. Bedrock sits close to the surface on the benches, and deep colluvium covers the side slopes.
This is the wettest ground in the state, with more than 60 inches of precipitation a year. Rain and deep snowmelt cannot soak into shallow soil over rock, so the water runs, and springs and seeps break out partway down a slope.
An undrained base will take that water straight through it. That is why a clean stone drainage layer belongs under a fines-bearing base rather than on top of it.
Slides and slumps occur on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium. Old timber roads, skidder trails and unreclaimed workings add to the problem, and mountain streams scour banks and culvert outlets when they rise.
This is also 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.
Snow cover lasts for weeks at a time on the high benches.
The ground here also freezes early, thaws late and cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring.
Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure for the highlands, so confirm it locally and expect it to be deeper than the 24 to 30 inches used in the lower parts of the state.
Choosing the right material
Nicholas County spans more than one ground region, including the Allegheny Plateau coalfields alongside the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front. Where its ground matches this one, the base and drainage reasoning is the same.
Braxton County sits on the North central plateau and western hills. That is rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, with acid stony residuum on the slopes and colluvium in the hollows.
Braxton County also has narrow alluvial bottoms along the Monongahela, Tygart, West Fork and Little Kanawha, and mine regolith where the Pittsburgh and other northern seams were worked. Flat alluvial ground and mine regolith behave differently from the steep, shallow ground here, so the base and drainage choice changes with it.
Match the material to the ground under it. A fines-bearing base such as crusher run suits a drive or pad, while clean washed stone such as #57 limestone or drain rock moves water.
For soil, top soil and garden soil cover lawns and beds. Riprap protects a bank or a culvert outlet where the stream scours.
