Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Wetzel County, WV
West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Wetzel County, WV. Crusher run is the base most ground here gets built on, and it is the material to start with when a drive, pad or shop floor needs a surface that holds.
Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, the working season runs long and is held up mainly by wet ground and high water on the river flats in late winter and spring. Timing a delivery around that stretch keeps a load out of soft ground.
Materials Delivered in Wetzel County
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.
West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course, and Subsection 704.6 grades base aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.
Local yards sell crusher run by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.
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.
Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface and as a top course over a Class 1 base.
67, No. 8 and No.
4. Those size numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.
For drainage, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big. #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for construction entrances, trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.
Sand and soil round out a load. Washed Sand is the coarser sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.
Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall before a base course goes on top.

Ground conditions across Wetzel County
Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, the water driver is Ohio River flooding and backwater on the flats, plus runoff coming down through the towns to the river. Terrace gravel drains well; the silt and clay above it and the hillside soils behind do not.
That split decides where a base course goes and where a clean drainage stone does the work instead. On ground that holds water, a washed stone layer moves it; on ground that drains, a compacted base holds the grade.
Slides and slumps on the valley walls and on cut and fill run about 3.6 per square mile across the central Allegheny Plateau, with the Conemaugh Group the most susceptible unit and shale and siltstone the most slide-prone rock. River bank scour and undercutting of terrace banks during high water are the other constant.
Steep slopes and slipping fill carry the base and drainage reasoning across most of the state. Where a fill is moving, drainage stone and bank armour matter more than surface material.
Winters here are moderate and coldest in the Northern Panhandle, with repeated freeze-thaw and heaving in thin drives through late winter. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, and the nearest published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, so confirm locally.
Choosing the right material
Marshall County shares the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle ground region, so the terrace sand, gravel and silt, the hillsides behind and the old industrial fill on some river flats are the same story. The base and drainage choices there follow the same reasoning as here.
Monongalia County and Marion County sit in Mountaineer Country, 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.
The difference is the ground itself. Where the slopes carry stony residuum and the hollows carry colluvium, a base course has to be built up over ground that is already shedding water, rather than over river terrace gravel that drains on its own.
On a drive or pad, start with crusher run or Class 1 base and top it with Class 2 where a tighter surface is wanted. For drainage, use clean washed stone such as #57 limestone or #67 stone.
