Materials for Wellersburg Projects

Start with the landscape work. Decorative rock and ground cover solve bare beds, wet spots and washed-out edges, and they hold up on the slopes around town.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds that carry runoff across a yard.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work where runoff runs hard.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas and drainage. Rounded stone stays loose underfoot.
• Screenings, also called stone dust, for paver and flagstone bedding and walkway surfacing. The fines pack firm.
• RipRap for ditch lining, culvert outlets and stream bank armoring. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number.

Then build the hard surfaces under it all. For a driveway, parking pad or shed base, 2A modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard. Top it with Driveway Gravel.

Where water has to pass through instead of sheeting off, use clean stone. 2B stone, also called 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, has no fines, so it drains. It suits French drains, drainage behind retaining walls and wet drive bases. Drain Rock covers the same job.

Sand and soil finish the work. Mason Sand for mortar and paver joints. Washed Sand for concrete and bedding. Top Soil for lawns and final grading.

Ground and Conditions in Wellersburg

The ground here is sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate under thin to moderately deep, stony soils. Those soils sit on broad uplands and wide ridges, cut by deep, steep-sided valleys. Coal beds and old mine ground turn up in parts of the area.

That mix punishes an under-built base. A thin layer over soft, stony subgrade shifts and ruts. Strip the soft material, shape the grade, then compact 2A modified in lifts so the whole base locks together.

Runoff off the steep slopes gullies gravel roads and ditches, and it scours stream banks in the narrow valleys. Arm those spots with RipRap or line them with large river rock. Rain on snow can set off debris slides on mountainsides.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state. A thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Frost depth runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, with the deeper figures in the mountains.

Winter snow and frozen ground limit base, driveway and paver work to the thawed, dry months from spring into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground.

Questions About Ordering in Wellersburg

How much material will my project need?

Measure the area and the depth you want, then enter those figures in the calculator on the order page. It sizes the load by the ton or the yard. Rectangular beds and driveways are simple to measure. Irregular shapes break into smaller rectangles. For a dry creek bed, measure along the run and allow for the stone to sit below the surrounding grade.
