Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Bernalillo County, NM
New Mexico Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Bernalillo County, NM. Base course anchors most of that work, from a driveway off a mesa road to a slab base in Albuquerque.
Time a delivery around the working season. On the valley floor, work runs close to year round, and summer heat and monsoon downpours are what interrupt a compaction pass.
Materials Delivered in Bernalillo County
Base course is the local name for road base, and it is what this ground asks for.
Section 303 sets two gradation bands, Type I and Type II, and both pass a 1 inch sieve. Base course goes under driveways, parking pads, and slab and shed bases.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a load. Washed sand beds and levels flatwork, garden soil fills raised beds, and large river rock builds dry creek beds and drainage swales.
Numbered sizes are specification language here because yards sell by inch size and color. #57 stone and #67 stone suit drainage trenches, and #89 crushed stone fits tight bedding and narrow paver joints.
Choosing the Right Material
Santa Fe County sits in North Central New Mexico and its ground spans more than one zone, including the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez high country. That mix of mountain ground differs from the valley and rift ground in Bernalillo County, so base depth and drainage choices follow different conditions there.
Cibola County lies in the Northwest, on the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin. Its thin sandy soils over slickrock and deep expansive clays weathered from shale are a different setting from the river alluvium and caliche here, and expansive clay changes what a base has to handle.
Torrance County sits in Central New Mexico and shares the Central mountains and closed basins ground with part of Bernalillo County. Its soils are the same stony limestone and granite over alkaline silt and clay, so the material choice carries over the county line.
Match the material to the job. Crusher fines give a firm walkable crust for paths and patios, while Natural Pea Gravel stays loose and rounded underfoot.
Base course compacts into a load bearing surface.
Ground Conditions Across Bernalillo County
Bernalillo County spans more than one ground region. In the Middle Rio Grande valley and rift around Albuquerque, the valley floor is sandy and gravelly river alluvium over old terraces, with wind laid sand on the West Mesa and caliche cemented into the older deposits.
Monsoon cloudbursts on the mesas run straight down the arroyos into the valley. Caliche under a thin sandy surface stops water soaking away, so drainage has to be planned rather than assumed.
Lots near the river and the acequias also sit over a high water table.
In the Central mountains and closed basins side of the county, around Cedar Crest, Tijeras and Sandia Park, soils run stony limestone and granite. A monsoon storm there runs off rock and thin soil within minutes, which puts the pressure on slope protection and drainage.
Erosion follows the same split. Arroyo flash flooding and sheet flow across bare sandy ground work on the valley, while storm runoff cuts mountain drainages and forest roads.
Rip rap and large river rock armor those banks and swale headers.
Frost is mild for New Mexico on the valley floor, with freezing nights and daytime thaws through winter. The city building official sets footing depth, and that figure belongs to the town it was published for.
