Bulk Material Delivery in New Market, VA

Figure the tonnage before you figure the truck. For gravel and aggregate delivery in New Market, VA, measure the length, width and depth of the pad or trench, then convert to tons. Virginia Rock Supply sells 21A, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk. In limestone ground, water drops into the rock instead of running off, so drainage stone matters here.

Materials for New Market Projects

Drainage is the job that fails first. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need washed stone with no fines, because fines clog the pipe and the water has nowhere to go. Start with the coarsest sizes and work down.

• #4 Crushed Stone is the heavy end: trench bottoms, construction entrances and severe drainage where you need open voids.
• #57 Stone, about 3/4 inch, is the standard for French drains, drywells and driveway topping. Most suppliers here call it 3/4 inch stone.
• #8 Crushed Stone handles pipe bedding, paver joints and porous backfill behind walls.
• #89 Crushed Stone is the small washed stone for tight bedding and joints.
• Drain Rock covers downspout runs and drywells when you want one material for the whole system.

For a driveway base. Where you want a coarser mix that drains a little better, use 21B. Top either one with Driveway Gravel.

Ground and Conditions in New Market

Time the delivery around the working season. Midwinter freezes and snow are the main hold-up, and soaked ground after a thaw will not compact. Frost depth is set by each county, so check yours before you dig footings or set a base.

This is Valley and Ridge ground: limestone and dolostone valley floors with karst, so sinkholes and caves occur and bedrock often sits close to the surface. Water goes down into the rock rather than across it, which means concentrated runoff can open or enlarge a sinkhole. In karst, runoff can also wash soil down into a sinkhole and undermine the surface, so grade away from the house and keep downspouts moving water well past the foundation.

On the ridge slopes, heavy rain and snowmelt run fast into narrow hollows and scour stream banks. Rip rap on a culvert outlet or ditch bank slows that water down before it cuts. Where the soil is thin and rocky, a drainage layer under a pad does more work than extra base depth.

Lead time depends on the material and the haul, so order once the pad is graded and the trench is open. A clear, firm entrance keeps the truck off soft ground and saves you a cleanup.
