Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Datil, NM

How do you build a pad on ground that will not sit still? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Datil, NM, the answer starts with fill and sub-base.

New Mexico Rock Supply delivers bulk material to homes and job sites across Catron County. On stony volcanic ground, the grade has to be right before base course goes down.

Delivery to Datil and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

Then you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. That is the whole delivery, so plan where the pile should sit before the truck arrives.

Bulk delivery reaches sites in Datil, Reserve, Quemado, Pie Town, Aragon and Glenwood.

Materials for Datil Projects

Much of the work here starts below the surface. Raising grade and building up a pad comes first, and the material you put down at that stage decides how the rest of the job behaves.

For bulk fill, raising grade and backfill under a pad or drive, order Fill Dirt. It goes down before any base course lift, and it is what brings a low spot up to grade.

Once the grade is set, Base Course is the compacted layer for driveways, parking pads, slab and shed bases. Local crews call it Type I or Type II base course, or 3/4 minus.

On a long rural approach, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base course.

For a patio, path or courtyard, Crusher Fines packs to a firm walkable crust. Yards across New Mexico sell it by color, and it is the default walkable surface here.

Where water has to leave the site, Drain Rock goes into French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and splash runs below canales and downspouts.

Ground and Conditions in Datil

Across the Mogollon-Datil volcanic highlands and Gila country, soils are weathered from rhyolite and tuff. Slopes run stony, and valley alluvium carries gravel with caliche in it.

Datil sits at high, dry elevation, where most winter nights freeze and most winter days thaw.

That caliche layer is the part that catches people out. Water that soaks through the gravel above it stops and sits, so an under-built base softens and shifts.

Get the fill and sub-base right and the surface stays put.

Monsoon storms on these rocky volcanic slopes produce runoff almost immediately. On flatter ground, caliche stops that water soaking away.

Flash flooding down the drainages and their side canyons drives the erosion risk. Bare slopes gully, and post-fire runoff off burn scars is severe.

Rip rap is the material for arroyo bank armoring, culvert outlets and slope protection.

The working season here is long, spring through late fall. July and August storms and short midwinter cold snaps are what interrupt it.

What is the best base under pavers in Datil?

Bed the pavers on crusher fines or on stone screenings. Crusher fines are screened crushed rock fines that pack to a firm walkable crust, which is why New Mexico yards reach for them first.

Screenings work as bedding and joint fill. Both need a compacted base course layer beneath them, and the whole build only holds if the fill and grade under it are sound.

Do you supply contractors working in Datil?

Yes. New Mexico Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, topsoil and fill to contractors and homeowners across Catron County, including Reserve, Quemado, Pie Town, Aragon and Glenwood.

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and select a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site.
