Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Bluewater, NM

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Bluewater, NM runs from spring into late fall. New Mexico Rock Supply brings base course, stone, sand and soil to sites across this part of Cibola County.

Winter freezes the ground, and a March thaw leaves clay too wet to compact. Time your order around that window.

Materials for Bluewater Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Thin sandy ground and cemented caliche give way under a bucket, then leave a hole that needs filling and shaping before anything else goes down.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills around foundations. It goes in ahead of a base course lift.

Top Soil finishes the grade. Use it for lawns, tree wells and beds over ground that will not hold moisture on its own.

Garden Soil fills raised beds. That is how most gardeners here work around a caliche layer instead of digging through it.

Base and Road Material

Base Course is the local name for road base. It builds driveways, parking pads and slab bases.

Crusher Fines is a screened fines product sold by color. It packs to a firm crust on paths, patios and xeriscape walkways.

3/4 Crushed Rock handles drainage beds, drive surfacing and drip strips against a foundation.

Stone, Sand and Decorative Rock

3/8" Crushed Stone is a fine drainage stone and a topping over compacted base course. Drain Rock serves French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs.

Mason Sand, also listed as plaster sand, handles block, stucco and paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork.

Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and xeriscape planting beds. Rio Grande River Rock works decorative beds and splash aprons under canales.

Rip rap, #57 and #67 stone cover heavier drainage and armoring work where water moves fast.

Ground and Conditions in Bluewater

Shale clay and slickrock shed water rather than take it. Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, 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. That movement shows up as heaving flatwork and rutted drives.

Flash flow down arroyos and slickrock washes cuts gullies in bare ground. Wind strips sand off unplanted lots.

RipRap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets against monsoon flow.

Cold high desert at 5,000 to 7,000 feet freezes and thaws repeatedly from November into March. That heaves gravel drives and lifts flatwork set straight on shale clay.

Frost depth runs about 24 inches around Farmington and the San Juan valley. Your city or county building official sets footing depth for your project.
