Buy 21A in Newtown, VA

Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Newtown, VA for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners patching a drive that has gone soft. Both usually start with 21A. It packs hard because it carries enough fines to bind.

Newtown sits in King and Queen County, on ground that is mostly old sea and river sediment. That matters more than price when you are picking a base.

Materials for Newtown Projects

The drive is the job here, so start with the base and work out from there. 21A is the standard Virginia driveway base, and it also carries parking pads and shed bases. It compacts tight and holds an edge when you dress it.

Not every drive wants the same mix. 21B is the coarser, lower-fines base, so it drains a little better but packs less tightly. On low, wet lots around Newtown that trade-off is often worth it.

Then you surface. Driveway gravel goes over a compacted 21A base or re-tops an existing drive that has raveled out. For a path or a garden walk where you want a finer, walkable surface, walkway gravel is the better fit.

Drainage and finishing materials fill in the rest. #57 stone is the washed 3/4 inch size for French drains, driveway topping and concrete work. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and give you fine leveling under flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Newtown

Water is the whole story on this ground. The land is flat and low, so rain from summer thunderstorms, nor'easters and tropical storms has nowhere to run. It ponds on drives and pads instead of leaving.

The soil is layered sand, silt and clay left by old sea and river sediment, not weathered rock. Sandy spots drain fast. Clayey, marshy low ground stays wet for days after a storm.

That is why base depth and drainage matter more here than in the Piedmont. On a wet lot, 21B under the surface stone lets water move instead of sitting against the fines in 21A. Add #57 stone in a French drain or a downspout run and you give the water a path out.

Runoff also carries loose sandy soil off bare ground and ditch banks, so stabilize grades before the fall storm season. Freeze-thaw is light here compared to inland Virginia, and hard freezes are short, so drive work runs through most of the winter. Long wet spells, not cold, are what hold jobs up.

Delivery to Newtown and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material by the ton or the cubic yard. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck or a live-bottom trailer and is tailgated or dumped where you point it.

Have the drop spot ready before the truck rolls. You want firm ground, a clear overhead path, and enough room for the truck to pull out loaded or empty. Soft ground after a wet week is the most common reason a delivery has to be spotted somewhere other than the driveway.

We deliver across Newtown and the rest of King and Queen County, including King and Queen Court House, Bruington, Little Plymouth, Mascot and Mattaponi. Give us the drive length, width and depth and we can size the tonnage for you.
