Materials Delivered in Lee County
Order by project type. Each material below is named the way Lee County crews name it.
Give 21A the most thought. 21A carries more fines, so it locks up under a driveway. 21B is the coarser choice where you want a little more drainage under the base.
Ground Conditions Across Lee County
Lee County spans two ground zones, so the base you build changes with the address.
Valley and Ridge ground
Pennington Gap, Jonesville, Dryden and Rose Hill sit on limestone and dolostone valley floors with karst. Sinkholes and caves occur here, and bedrock often sits close to the surface. Much of the water goes down into the rock instead of across it. Concentrated runoff can open or enlarge a sinkhole, so grade water away from the pad and keep fill clean.
Appalachian Plateau ground
Keokee sits in the coalfields, on thin, rocky soil over flat-lying sedimentary rock and coal beds. Ground is disturbed by past coal mining in places. Steep slopes send heavy rain into narrow hollows fast. Creeks rise quickly, and runoff pours down steep drives. Road cuts, fills and old mine ground erode fastest.
Frost and the working season
Frost depth is set by each county or city, so check locally. Cold high-country winters bring frequent freeze-thaw and snow, harsher on ridgetops than in valley bottoms. Snow and ice on steep grades stop work more than anything in winter, and heavy storms at any time of year can wash out unprotected ground. Build base depth for freeze-thaw, not just for the load.
Delivery Across Lee County
Order online. Pick your material, enter your address, and choose a quantity by the ton or the cubic yard. A bulk load arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you want it. Size the load to the job: a driveway base takes far more tonnage than a paver bedding layer.
Coverage runs across the county, including Pennington Gap, Jonesville, Dryden, Rose Hill, Ewing, Keokee, St. Charles and Blackwater. Steep, narrow hollows can limit where a truck turns around, so flag any tight access when you order. Loose ground after a thaw or a storm is worth waiting out before a heavy load rolls in.
Choosing the Right Material
Ground next door changes the pick. Wise County shares the Appalachian Plateau coalfields, so its ground is similar to Keokee: thin, rocky soil over flat-lying rock and coal beds in steep, narrow hollows. Compare typical projects instead. Both counties lean on 21A for drive base, with #57 stone or #8 crushed stone where drainage has to move fast on a grade.
Scott County sits in the Valley and Ridge, the same zone as Pennington Gap, Jonesville, Dryden and Rose Hill. Limestone valley floors with karst, sinkholes and shallow bedrock, between folded ridges. That shallow rock and the sinkhole risk push the same choice: a tight, well-graded 21A base, drainage stone to move water off the pad, and rip rap at culvert outlets and ditch lines.
Match the material to the job. Drive base: 21A, then 21B where you want more drainage. Drainage: #57 stone or #8 crushed stone, with drain rock behind walls. Fine bedding: screenings, mason sand or washed sand. Rough fill: fill dirt, then top soil over it for planting.
