Bulk Material Delivery in Aragon, NM

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Aragon, NM, the first question is usually where the water goes. New Mexico Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and base course is the lift most drives and pads here start from.

This is high, dry country. Volcanic soils weathered from rhyolite and tuff sit across the Mogollon-Datil highlands and Gila country, and runoff starts fast on those slopes.

Materials for Aragon Projects

Start with the drainage stone, because monsoon water off rocky slopes has to go somewhere and it gets there quickly. Washed stone is the group to know: clean, open, and sized to pass water instead of holding it.

Drain Rock is the workhorse for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout splash runs. Pair it with #57 Stone in drainage trenches and concrete work, or #67 Stone where you want a slightly smaller size in the same trench.

For fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course over compacted base, 3/8" Crushed Stone is the size to reach for. #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone go finer still for tight bedding and narrow paver joints.

Heavier water needs heavier stone. #4 Crushed Stone handles trench bottoms and rough crossings, and RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and dry creek headers against flash flow.

On the dry side of the job, base course is the compacted base for drives, parking pads and shed slabs. Crusher Fines pack to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and courtyards, and 3/4 Crushed Rock surfaces drives and lines drip strips against a foundation.

Sand and soil finish the list. Mason Sand is the plaster and masonry sand for block, stucco and paver joints.

Top Soil and Garden Soil build beds over thin alkaline ground and caliche.

Delivery to Aragon and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the site. That is the whole of it, so plan where the pile should land before the truck arrives.

Delivery covers Aragon and the surrounding area in Catron County, including Reserve, Quemado, Pie Town, Glenwood and Datil.

Ground and Conditions in Aragon

The working season here runs long, spring through late fall. July and August storms interrupt it, along with short cold snaps in midwinter, so timing a delivery around the wet weeks pays off.

Caliche in the valley alluvium stops water soaking away, and monsoon storms on rocky volcanic slopes produce runoff almost immediately. That combination is why drainage stone belongs in the plan from the start, not after the first big rain.

Flash flooding down the Gila, San Francisco and Mimbres drainages and their side canyons moves a lot of water, and post fire runoff off Gila burn scars adds to it. Gullying on bare volcanic slopes follows the same pattern.

Frost matters at these elevations. Silver City, Reserve, Datil and Pie Town sit from 5,900 feet to over 7,000, freeze most winter nights and thaw most winter days.

Frost depth there commonly runs 12 to 18 inches, and the county building official sets footing depth.
