Bulk Gravel Delivery to Bloomfield, NM

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Bloomfield, NM by the ton or by the yard. New Mexico Rock Supply sells bulk base course, crushed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock, delivered to your site.

Bloomfield sits on the basin floor in San Juan County, where the ground runs to deep expansive clays and cemented caliche. Base course is the material that carries a drive or a pad over that ground.

Ground and Conditions in Bloomfield

The ground here is clay weathered from shale, and it swells when it takes water. It shrinks back hard when it dries.

A thin gravel layer over that clay moves with it.

The same clay sheds monsoon rain instead of absorbing it. Runoff reaches the arroyos fast and ponds in low yards, and the water has to be routed somewhere.

Spring snowmelt adds to it. Clay in a March thaw will not compact, so base work is best timed from spring into late fall, before the ground freezes again.

Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, bare ground also loses sand to wind. Covering an open area with rock or topsoil holds it in place.

Materials for Bloomfield Projects

Crusher fines carry paths, patios, courtyards and dog runs here. They are screened crushed rock fines that pack down to a firm, walkable crust, and yards sell them by color.

Keep Crusher Fines for that walkable surface and Stone Screenings for bedding pavers and flagstone and filling the joints between them.

For driveways and parking pads, Base Course is the local standard. New Mexico calls it base course, also written Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus.

Top a compacted base with 3/8" Crushed Stone for a finer surface. Use 3/4 Crushed Rock for drainage beds, drive surfacing and drip strips against a foundation.

Water is the other half of the work. Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains.

Use RipRap to armor arroyo banks and culvert outlets against flash flow.

For planting, Top Soil rebuilds 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.

Mason Sand handles block, brick and adobe work, stucco and plaster coats, and paver joints. Use Washed Sand for bedding and leveling under slabs and flatwork.

Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs and drainage beds. Rio Grande River Rock finishes decorative beds and borders and splash aprons under canales.
