Ground here is stony and thin on the slopes, so what you put under a patio does as much work as the pavers on top.

Ground and Conditions in Yellow Spring

Across the Potomac ridges and valleys, soil over the ridges is shallow and full of rock fragments. On the slopes it is shaly and stony residual ground that moves under a load.

When a base is too thin, a patio or pad settles unevenly and the pavers rock at the corners. Water then sits in the low spots and works the joints open.

Water off steep ridge slopes arrives quickly and concentrated in the valley bottoms. On dry, compacted ground an intense summer storm sheds almost all of it, so drainage under flatwork has to be planned, not hoped for.

Spring thaw and long autumn rain are what stop a base job around here, not midwinter cold. The valleys give a long working season and the upper hollows give a shorter one.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure. Confirm it locally before you set a footing depth.

Materials for Yellow Spring Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the wrong pick shows first. The material directly under the paver holds the surface flat and lets water move instead of pooling.

Start with Stone Screenings, sold here as screenings or stone dust. Crusher fines bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints once the units are set.

For a tight bed under a patio, #8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. Local yards list #8 limestone for paver joints, pipe bedding, fine drainage and a dressing over a compacted base.

Under the bedding layer, the base course carries the load. Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and it is the layer to build up where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

West Virginia yards sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

Where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, Crusher Run covers it. Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, used as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Sand beds flatwork too. Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling, bedding and under slabs and pavers, while Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints.
