Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Caprock, NM

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Caprock, NM runs year round, and the interruptions are summer heat and the July to September storms. New Mexico Rock Supply delivers bulk base course, soil and stone across Lea County.

If you are grading a pad or building beds, start with the soil and fill. The stone and sand go on top of a grade that already drains.

Materials for Caprock Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, because the ground under them is thin and alkaline. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course lift goes down.

Screened topsoil and garden soil go over caliche and hardpan for lawns, tree wells and raised beds.

Base course, also called Type I or Type II base course, is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads and slab or shed bases. It is what New Mexico calls road base.

Crusher fines are screened crushed rock fines that pack to a firm walkable crust. They suit paths, patios, courtyards and xeriscape walkways, and yards sell them by color.

For drainage, 3/4 crushed rock works in drainage beds, drive surfacing and drip strips against a foundation. Drain rock feeds French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs where monsoon water has to go somewhere.

Washed sand beds and levels flatwork under slabs. Mason sand, also called plaster sand, handles block, brick and adobe work, stucco coats and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Caprock

Across the Pecos Valley and Permian Basin, caliche and gypsum hardpan stop water soaking away. Monsoon and autumn storms run down the draws instead, and solution sinkholes make local drainage unpredictable.

Sand ridges and caliche flats cover the Lea County oilfield country. That ground needs a drainage layer before it needs anything else, which is where 3/4 crushed rock and drain rock earn their place.

Erosion follows the same water. Arroyo and draw flash flooding, gypsum and caliche gullying, and wind driven sand all move ground that was left bare.

Rip rap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets, and large river rock builds dry creek beds and swales.

Work runs year round here. Summer heat and the storm window are the interruptions, not cold, so grading and delivery can be timed around both.
