Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Artesia, NM

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Artesia, NM, New Mexico Rock Supply sells base course, stone, sand and soil by the ton or the yard. Work here runs year round, so summer heat and the July to September storms set your delivery timing, not winter.

The Pecos Valley ground you are building on is sandy and gravelly over caliche, and that hardpan decides how a bed and slab pad perform. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Ground and Conditions in Artesia

Caliche and gypsum hardpan across the Pecos Valley and Permian Basin stops water soaking away. Storm flow runs down the draws toward the Pecos instead, and solution sinkholes make drainage hard to predict.

A thin bedding layer over that ground fails first at the edges. Water sits on the caliche, the fines pump up through the bedding, and pavers go out of level in a season.

The fix is a bedding course that stays put and a way for water to leave. Washed sand or stone screenings under the pavers, with drain rock at the low side, lets the water move instead of stacking up under the slab.

Sand ridges and caliche flats also carry wind-driven sand through this part of the state. Fine bedding material that is not contained will move.

Materials for Artesia Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the base work starts here. Base Course, also called Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer under a driveway, a parking pad or a slab.

Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, is the bedding and leveling sand under slabs and flatwork. It spreads to a flat plane so pavers and forms sit even.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. In New Mexico, yards often reach for crusher fines for the same job.

Crusher Fines are the screened fines that pack to a firm walkable crust. They suit paths, patios, courtyards and xeriscape walkways, and they come in colors.

Mason Sand, listed locally as plaster sand or masonry sand, handles block, brick and adobe work, stucco coats and paver joints. Drain Rock carries French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs where monsoon water has to go.
