Materials for Belen Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work that comes first on most lots here. Fill dirt is bulk fill, grade raising and backfill before a base course lift goes down.

Base course, also called Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus, then gives you the compacted surface for a driveway, a parking pad or a slab and shed base.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand, is bedding and leveling sand under slabs and flatwork. Mason sand, which New Mexico yards list as plaster sand or masonry sand, is for block, brick and adobe work, stucco and plaster coats, and paver joints.

For water that has to move, drain rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains. Rip rap, also called riprap, armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets against flash flow.

For paths and patios, crusher fines pack to a firm walkable crust. Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs and drainage beds.

For drive surfacing, 3/4 crushed rock handles drainage beds, drip strips and construction entrances.

Ground and Conditions in Belen

The valley floor here is sandy and gravelly river alluvium over old terraces, with caliche cemented into the older terrace and piedmont deposits. Water that gets through the sand stops at the caliche and sits.

An under-built base on that ground moves and pumps.

Across the Middle Rio Grande valley and rift, monsoon cloudbursts on the mesas run straight down the arroyos into the valley. Sheet flow crosses bare sandy ground, and banks scour along the river and the irrigation ditches.

Rip rap and drain rock answer that water.

Work runs close to year round here. Summer heat and monsoon downpours, not cold, are what interrupt a compaction pass.

Freezing nights through winter with daytime thaws are frequent but shallow, and deep frost is uncommon on the valley floor.
