Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Cerrillos, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Cerrillos, NM, with base course leading the way. Base course, also called Type I or Type II base course, is the compacted layer that carries a rural drive, a parking pad, or a shed base.

Cerrillos sits in Santa Fe County, where sandy clay alluvium with caliche sits under thin ground. That ground decides what you order and how you build on it.

Materials for Cerrillos Projects

Start with the surface that takes the traffic. Base Course is the graded material that compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer under drives, pads, and slab bases.

Above a compacted base course, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a long rural approach. For a finer finish over the same base, 3/8" Crushed Stone works as a topping course.

Washed stone handles water and heavy wear. 3/4 Crushed Rock goes into drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances, and drip strips against a foundation.

Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells, and downspout splash runs where monsoon water has to go somewhere.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand, listed locally as plaster sand, beds block, brick, and adobe work and fills paver joints.

Top Soil rebuilds lawns, tree wells, and beds over thin alkaline ground and caliche.

Ground and Conditions in Cerrillos

Water drives the material choice here. Snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run off steep slopes and shallow soil across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, and northern high country.

Once the surface has crusted, that water arrives faster than Stone Screenings and tuff will take it. Sandy clay alluvium with caliche sits below, so water that gets through the sand stops at the caliche and sits.

That is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface. Drain Rock and RipRap move water away from a foundation, a canale outlet, or an arroyo bank before it scours the ground.

The working season is short, roughly late spring through October. Frozen ground stops compaction all winter, and the high valleys thaw last.

Frost depth runs about 24 inches around Santa Fe, and the local building official sets footing depth.
