Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ivanhoe, VA

Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ivanhoe, VA, and the surrounding part of Wythe County. If you are building a driveway here, 21A is the base most crews ask for first.

We stock base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative material for projects on the valley floors and the steeper ground around them.

Materials for Ivanhoe Projects

Most jobs in this area start with a driveway and work outward from there. The list below covers the base material, the washed stone that handles water, the sand that beds flatwork, and the soil and decorative stone that finish the job.

Base and driveway material first

21A is the standard Virginia driveway base. It goes down in lifts and packs hard, so it carries a loaded truck without rutting out. Build your pad with Fill Dirt where the grade is low, then cap it with 21A.

21B is the coarser, lower-fines option. It drains a little better than 21A but packs less tightly, so use it where water sits against the base or where you want a base that sheds runoff.

Washed stone and drainage

#57 Stone is the workhorse for French drains, downspout runs and concrete aggregate. #8 Crushed Stone is the finer size for pipe bedding, paver joints and backfill behind walls.

For slope and ditch work, RipRap armors ground against storm runoff. River Rock and Large River Rock handle decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Sand, soil and finish material

Mason Sand beds brick and block work and fills paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. For planting, Top Soil, Garden Soil and Shredded Mulch cover lawns, raised beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Ivanhoe

Start with where the water goes. In limestone ground much of it goes down into the rock instead of running across it, so concentrated runoff can open or enlarge a sinkhole. That changes how you build a base here.

On ridge slopes, heavy rain and snowmelt run fast into narrow hollows and streams. Soil is thinner and rockier up there, and bedrock often sits close to the surface. A deep base is not always an option on those slopes.

Practical result: on valley floors, crown the drive and keep water moving off the base instead of ponding over it. A drainage layer of #57 stone or Drain Rock under a compacted 21A cap handles most of it.

Winter is the other constraint. Midwinter freezes and snow hold up work, longest in the higher mountain counties, and thaws leave ground soaked. Frost depth is set by each county, 24 inches in many valley counties and deeper at high elevation in Bath County, so set your base depth to the local figure, not a statewide one.

Delivery to Ivanhoe and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material and quantity. Bulk material arrives by the ton or by the yard, so have your numbers ready before the truck is scheduled.

Measure the area and the depth you want, then convert that to tons. If you are not sure, enter the size of the drive or pad and the base depth in the calculator to size the load to the job.

For the drop, clear a path the truck can reach and pick a spot where the pile will not block the drive or sit in a drainage path. Bulk loads are heavy, so firm ground matters.

We deliver across Ivanhoe and Wythe County, including Wytheville, Rural Retreat, Max Meadows, Barren Springs and Cripple Creek.
