Materials for Caballo Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first, and that starts with fill. Fill Dirt is bulk fill for bringing a pad or a low spot up to grade before anything goes on top of it.

Once grade is set, Base Course is the compacted layer under a driveway, parking pad, slab or shed. New Mexico calls it base course, and it is also written as Type I base course, Type II base course or 3/4 minus.

For a driveway, base course carries the load and Driveway Gravel surfaces it or tops a compacted base on a long rural approach. For a patio or path, Crusher Fines pack to a firm, walkable crust and are sold by color.

For drainage, Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains, and handles splash runs where monsoon water has to go somewhere. RipRap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets against flash flow.

Sand and soil round out a site. Mason Sand beds block and adobe work and takes stucco coats, while Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork.

Top Soil and Garden Soil build beds over thin, alkaline ground.

Ground and Conditions in Caballo

Across the Chihuahuan Desert basin and range, the ground is desert basin fill: sand, gravel and silt washed off the ranges, with a hard caliche layer often close to the surface. Caliche and crusted desert soil take almost no water, so rain moves across the surface instead of soaking in.

That is why an under-built base shows up fast here. Fill brings a pad to grade first, then base course goes down over it, so the compacted layer is not sitting on soft or uneven ground.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Monsoon cells send sheet flow across bare desert pavement and flash flow down the arroyos and bajadas, which is where rip rap and drain rock earn their place.

Wind moves sand and dust across the basin floors between storms.

Work runs year round in this part of the state. Summer heat and the July to September monsoon set the schedule, not winter.

Questions About Material in Caballo

What is the best base under pavers in Caballo?

Base course is the compacted layer that carries the load, and crusher fines are the bedding and joint material that pack to a firm, walkable crust. Stone screenings, also called screenings, bed pavers and flagstone too.

On this ground, bring the area to grade with fill first so the base course is not sitting over soft spots.
