Start with base course. It is the compacted base for drives and parking pads here, and it is what most path and pad work is built on.

Fines and screenings finish the walking surfaces.

Ground and Conditions in Cochiti Lake

A thin base fails first at the edges. Water gets under the crust, the fines wash out, and the surface breaks up in slabs.

Ground across the Middle Rio Grande valley and rift is sandy and gravelly river alluvium over caliche. Water that soaks through the sand stops at the caliche layer and sits there.

Monsoon cloudbursts run down the arroyos and across bare sandy ground. Sheet flow scours what a path or a drive edge is not built to shed.

Build the base course layer deep enough to bridge that soft, wet ground before the finish goes down. That is the fix for a path that would otherwise rut its first monsoon season.

Work runs close to year round here. Summer heat and monsoon downpours interrupt a compaction pass, not cold.

Materials for Cochiti Lake Projects

Crusher fines are the lead material for paths and walkways in Cochiti Lake. These are screened crushed rock fines, sold by color, and they pack to a firm walkable crust.

Use Crusher Fines for garden paths, patios, courtyards, dog runs and xeriscape walkways. For paver and flagstone bedding, Stone Screenings work well as bedding and joint fill.

Base Course, also called Type I or Type II base course, is the local name for road base. It goes under driveways, parking pads, slab and shed bases, and it is what crusher fines and pavers sit on.

Top a compacted base course with 3/8" Crushed Stone for fine drainage, pipe bedding and a topping course. For drainage beds and drip strips against a foundation, use 3/4 Crushed Rock, also called gray crushed 3/4.

For water that has to move, Drain Rock handles French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and canale and downspout splash runs. Where an arroyo bank or culvert outlet needs armoring against flash flow, rip rap is the material.

For decorative beds and borders, Rio Grande river rock and large river rock work as dry arroyo landscaping and splash aprons under canales.
