Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Ewing, VA

Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ewing, VA, and the material list starts with the name local crews ask for: 21A. We also stock washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock for jobs across Lee County.

Ewing sits in the Valley and Ridge, where limestone valley floors and folded ridges sit side by side. That mix of ground shapes which base and drainage stone you order.

Materials for Ewing Projects

Most jobs here start with a driveway. If you want a surface that locks up and stays put, 21A is the standard Virginia driveway base and the right first layer for drives, parking pads and shed or patio bases. Order 21A for that work.

Want a base that drains a little better and packs less tightly? Use 21B, the coarser. It works well under drives and pads where water needs to move.

Once the base is compacted, top it with Driveway Gravel to refresh an existing drive or finish a new one. For paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface.

For water, and many Virginia suppliers simply call it 3/4 inch stone. Use #8 Crushed Stone for pipe bedding and paver joints, and Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, and Top Soil rebuilds lawns. For beds and borders, River Rock and Shredded Mulch are the usual picks.

Ground and Conditions in Ewing

In limestone ground, much of the rain and snowmelt goes down into the rock instead of running across it. That means concentrated runoff can open or enlarge a sinkhole, and bedrock often sits close to the surface. Plan your base depth around that shallow rock, not around a flat, deep soil profile.

On the ridge slopes, heavy rain and snowmelt run fast into narrow hollows and streams. Water scours stream banks and washes soil off steep, shallow-soiled slopes. If your drive or pad sits near a slope or a ditch, add a drainage layer and route water away before you place base.

That is where washed stone earns its place. Use #57 stone in French drains and behind walls, and #8 stone for tight bedding and pipe work. Keep 21A for the compacted structural layer and let the washed sizes handle the water.

Timing matters too. Midwinter freezes and snow, longest in the higher mountain counties, are the main hold-up, along with soaked ground after thaws and heavy rain. Frost depth is set by each county or city, 24 inches in many valley counties and deeper at high elevation in Bath County, so check your locality before you set footing or base depth.

Delivery to Ewing and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you need it. Have the drop spot clear before the truck gets there: a firm, level area off the road, no low wires overhead, and enough room for the bed to raise and pull out.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Measure your drive, pad or bed and figure the square footage first; that keeps the load sized to the job instead of short or left over. Tell us the material and the use, and we will match it to the right size.

We deliver in Ewing and across Lee County, including Pennington Gap, Jonesville, Dryden, Rose Hill and Keokee.
