Materials delivered in Curry County
Base course is the local name for road base. Section 303 allows crushed stone, crushed or screened gravel, caliche, sand and recycled asphalt or concrete pavement.
It sets two gradation bands, Type I and Type II, both passing a 1 inch sieve. City specifications follow the same definition.
That is how base material is specified in New Mexico, nothing more.
Order base course for driveways, parking pads, and slab and shed bases. Top it with 3/8 inch crushed stone where you want a finer surface over compacted material.
Ground conditions across Curry County
Across the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks, deep sandy and loamy soils sit over the Ogallala. A cemented caliche caprock sits under much of the Llano Estacado.
That caprock holds water near the surface, and the Llano drains into closed playa basins rather than to rivers. Low ground ponds after every heavy storm, so plan drainage before you surface anything.
Wind erosion comes first here. Open plains, dry springs and loose sand move before storm runoff cuts the caprock escarpment and scours playa margins.
Spring through late fall is the main working season. Winter wind and frozen ground stop compaction, and spring is the windiest and dustiest stretch of the year.
Freeze and thaw works gravel drives loose every spring. On the northern plains, frost depth commonly runs 18 to 24 inches, and the county building official sets footing depth.
Choosing the right material
Quay County and Roosevelt County share Curry County's ground region: the same deep sandy and loamy plains soils over the Ogallala, the same caliche caprock under much of the Llano Estacado.
Because the ground is the same, the choice is the same. Size the material to the job rather than to the county line.
Use base course under anything that takes traffic. Break through caliche where it caps the ground, then build the surface on top of what you place.
Use drain rock and 3/4 crushed rock where water collects. Use rip rap on arroyo banks and culvert outlets that take flash flow.
Use crusher fines for paths, patios and courtyards. The fines pack to a firm crust, which is why they are the default walkable surface in New Mexico.
Use Natural Pea Gravel and river rock in planting beds and along borders. Use topsoil and garden soil where you are growing something.
