Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Canones, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Canones, NM to two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners improving the ground around a house.

Base course is the material that starts those jobs, and it is the same thing as Type I or Type II base course, or 3/4 minus at the yard. The rest of the order depends on where water goes and what the surface has to do.

Materials for Canones Projects

Base course is the compacted layer under a driveway, a parking pad, or a slab and shed base. It is what New Mexico calls road base.

See Base Course for the material itself.

On top of a compacted base course, a topping course of 3/8 inch crushed stone, also called gray crushed 3/8, closes the surface. It also beds pipe and handles fine drainage.

It is listed under 3/8" Crushed Stone.

A long rural approach can be surfaced or topped with driveway gravel. On a graded road that rises toward the foothills, that surface course is what the tires actually meet.

See Driveway Gravel.

For paths, patios, courtyards, dog runs, and xeriscape walkways, crusher fines are the walkable surface. Screened crushed rock fines pack to a firm crust, and the yards sell them by color.

See Crusher Fines.

Natural Pea Gravel and river rock cover ground where nothing gets compacted. Natural Pea Gravel, or 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel, rounds a walkway or a drainage bed, and Rio Grande river rock handles decorative beds, borders, and splash aprons under canales.

See Natural Pea Gravel and Rio Grande River Rock.

Ground and Conditions in Canones

Water arrives faster than the ground will take it here. Snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run down steep slopes and shallow soil once the surface has crusted.

Across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, and the northern high country, the soils are Stone Screenings and stony mountain ground, soft volcanic tuff and pumice, and sandy clay alluvium with caliche in the basins below.

Caliche is the layer that decides how a job starts. It is also a genuine base course constituent, so it belongs in the material, not as a product on its own.

That runoff has somewhere to go, and it usually goes downhill fast. Steep slope runoff, arroyo and acequia bank scour after storms, and post fire runoff off burn scars all push water across the same ground.

Where the water has to be directed, drain rock fills French drains, dry wells, foundation drains, and canale and downspout splash runs. See Drain Rock.

Where a bank or a culvert outlet has to hold, rip rap armors the arroyo bank, the culvert outlet, and slope protection.

See RipRap.

The working season is short, roughly late spring through October. Frozen ground stops compaction all winter, and the high valleys thaw last, so timing a base course lift matters as much as the material.

Frost is the hardest freezing in New Mexico. Taos, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Angel Fire, and the Mora valley sit between 6,500 and 8,500 feet, and Rio Arriba, Colfax, Mora, and Taos sit in the highest air freezing index bands in the state.

Frost depth is about 24 inches around Santa Fe. The local building official sets footing depth, so check with the office that covers your site before you plan footings.
