Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Aztec, NM

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Aztec, NM runs on the working season. Base course and hardscape work fits between spring and late fall, because winter freezes the ground and wet shale clay in a March thaw will not compact.

New Mexico Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across San Juan County. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Materials for Aztec Projects

Base course is the base and driveway material here. It is the same thing as Type I base course, Type II base course, or 3/4 minus, and it goes down under driveways, parking pads, slab bases and shed bases.

It is what New Mexico calls road base.

On a long rural approach, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base course lift.

Washed stone handles water and drainage. Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains, and it carries downspout and canale splash runs where monsoon water has to go somewhere.

3/4 Crushed Rock works in drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and drip strips against a foundation. RipRap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets, protects slopes and builds dry creek headers against flash flow.

Sand and soil cover the flatwork and planting side. Mason Sand, sold around here as plaster sand, is for block, brick and adobe work, stucco and plaster coats, and paver joints.

Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork under slabs.

Top Soil goes on lawns, tree wells and beds over thin alkaline ground and caliche. Garden Soil fills raised beds, which is how most gardeners here get around a caliche layer instead of digging through it.

Decorative stone finishes beds and borders. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs, drainage beds and xeriscape ground cover.

Rio Grande River Rock and Large River Rock build dry arroyo landscaping, borders and splash aprons under canales.

Ground and Conditions in Aztec

Water is the first thing to plan around on the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin side. Shale clay and slickrock shed water rather than take it, so monsoon runoff and spring snowmelt reach the washes fast and pond in low yards.

Clay that swells wet and shrinks dry is the other half of the problem under slabs and drives. A base course lift over that ground has to be built for movement, not just for traffic.

Flash flow down arroyos and slickrock washes cuts gullies in bare shale badlands, and wind strips sand off unplanted ground. Rip rap at a culvert outlet or along a bank slows that water down before it takes the ground with it.

Frost matters too. This is cold high desert, and nights run below freezing from November into March.

The ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, which heaves gravel drives and lifts flatwork set straight on shale clay.

Timing follows the same pattern. Base course and hardscape work runs from spring into late fall, and a March thaw leaves shale clay too wet to compact.
