Bulk Material Delivery in Alto, NM

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Alto, NM? New Mexico Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and tips it on your site.

Start with base course, the material New Mexico calls road base, for a drive, a parking pad, or a shed base. Up here in the mountains, drainage matters just as much as the surface.

Materials for Alto Projects

Water is the thing that moves on a mountain lot. Washed stone gives monsoon runoff a place to go instead of a place to sit.

Drain Rock is washed, open graded stone for French drains, drywells, and foundation drains. It also handles canale and downspout splash runs where roof water has to leave the wall fast.

#57 Stone is a larger washed stone for drainage trenches and French drains. #67 Stone does the same work at a slightly smaller size.

For drywells and heavy trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarser washed option. At the fine end, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone fit tight bedding and narrow paver joints.

Once drainage is handled, the surface goes down. Base Course is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, and slab bases, sold as Type I, Type II, or 3/4 minus.

3/4 Crushed Rock surfaces a drive or forms a drip strip against a foundation. 3/8" Crushed Stone works as a topping course over compacted base course and for pipe bedding.

Crusher Fines pack to a firm, walkable crust for paths, patios, and courtyards, and yards here sell them by color.

Ground and Conditions in Alto

Spring through late fall is the working season on this side of the state. Snow and frozen ground shut down the high villages in winter, and basin ground stays soft well after a thaw.

Across the Central mountains and closed basins, soils run stony and alkaline, with caliche common on the basin floors. Caliche is a hard layer a crew has to break through, and it also appears as a constituent in base course.

A closed basin has nowhere to send water. Up in the mountains, a monsoon storm runs off rock and thin soil within minutes, so runoff arrives fast and has to be directed.

That is why a drainage layer belongs under or beside the work, not after it. Storm runoff also cuts mountain drainages and forest roads, and post fire runoff off burn scars carries debris downhill.

Order your drainage stone and your base course together and time the delivery to the working season. Frozen ground and soft thawed ground both make a poor landing for a heavy load.
