Buy Fill Dirt in Cimarron, NM

If you are planning a gravel and aggregate delivery in Cimarron, NM, the job usually starts with the ground under it. New Mexico Rock Supply sells bulk material for grading and bed prep first: fill dirt to raise a low spot, topsoil and garden soil to build a bed over thin, stony mountain ground.

From there you top it with base course for the drive or pad.

Everything is ordered online by the ton or by the yard and tipped on site in Colfax County.

Materials for Cimarron Projects

Grading and bed prep come before any surface material. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills a cut before a base course lift goes down.

Topsoil and garden soil go over Stone Screenings and stony mountain ground that will not hold a lawn or a bed on its own.

Garden soil is also how you get around a caliche layer instead of digging through it, which is why raised beds work so well in this part of the state.

Once the grade is right, the surface materials go down:

• Base Course, also called Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer under driveways, parking pads and slab or shed bases.
• Crusher Fines are screened fines that pack to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios, courtyards and dog runs, and they come in colors.
• 3/4 Crushed Rock is clean open stone for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and drip strips against a foundation.
• Drain Rock goes into French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and splash runs under canales and downspouts.
• RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slope faces against fast water.

Sand and decorative stone round out a site. Mason Sand, sold around here as plaster sand, handles block, brick and adobe work plus stucco coats and paver joints.

Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork. Rio Grande River Rock and Large River Rock cover decorative beds, splash aprons and dry creek work.

Ground and Conditions in Cimarron

Water drives the material choices here. Snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run down steep slopes onto shallow soil.

Water arrives faster than Stone Screenings and tuff will take it once the surface has crusted.

That is why drainage gets its own layer. Drain rock and Crushed Stone move water away from a foundation or a drive edge instead of letting it sit against the base.

Rip rap holds an arroyo bank or a culvert outlet where the flow scours.

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

The hardest freezing in New Mexico sits in this part of the state, and the residential code puts Colfax County in the highest air freezing index band. Footing depth is set by the local building official.
