Materials for Richmond Projects

Most work here starts with a base and finishes with a surface. 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone or #304 stone, is the standard base stone. It goes under asphalt and under every gravel drive.

On top of that base, 411 limestone packs tight. It is stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines, so it makes a firm topping for a gravel drive or parking area, and it beds pavers well. Order 411 Stone over a compacted 304 layer.

Where water needs to move, clean stone by number does the work. #57 Limestone handles French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate, while #8 Crushed Stone is the finer clean stone for pipe bedding, paver joints and tight drainage. #4 Crushed Stone takes heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms, and it filters under rip rap.

Sand and soil round out a residential job. Mason Sand beds brick, block and paver joints. Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over heavy clay subsoil, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through summer heat.

Ground and Conditions in Richmond

Start with where the rain goes. Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts while the low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, which is why a driveway cut into a slope needs clean drainage stone behind it, not just a surface layer.

That same water drives the erosion here. Landslides and slumps move on steep hillsides of clayey slope debris and soft red shale after heavy or prolonged rain, and stream banks scour in the narrow valleys. Rip rap on a bank or culvert outlet does real work in this county.

Soils are mostly thin to moderately deep over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with sand, gravel and silt in the flat river bottoms. Compaction takes attention on the clayey slopes, and the material you place has to shed water rather than trap it.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department. Confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.
