Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Edgewood, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Edgewood, NM. Start with the calculator on any product page to size your load, then pick the material.

Base course is the local name for the compacted material under a drive or a pad. At this elevation the ground freezes and thaws all winter, so what goes under a slab matters.

Delivery to Edgewood and the Surrounding Area

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

Edgewood sits in Santa Fe County, and delivery covers the town and the surrounding area. We also run to Santa Fe, Glorieta, Santa Cruz, Lamy and Stanley.

Bulk loads are heavy and the truck needs room to reach the drop point. Keep the approach clear and the pile spot reachable from the road.

Materials for Edgewood Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is where most sites here start, because the ground under a new build is rarely level or firm. Fill dirt does that work: bulk fill, raising grade, and backfill before a base course lift goes down.

Once the pad is up, base course carries the load. It is a compacted base for driveways, parking pads, and slab and shed bases.

For a driveway, order Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top compacted base course on a long rural approach. For a patio or path, Crusher Fines pack to a firm walkable crust and are sold by color.

For drainage, Drain Rock goes into French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout splash runs. Where monsoon water has to be slowed at an arroyo bank or culvert outlet, RipRap armors the slope.

For planting, Top Soil covers lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin alkaline ground and caliche. Garden Soil fills raised beds, which is how most gardeners here get around a caliche layer.

Ground and Conditions in Edgewood

Across the Central mountains and closed basins, soils run to stony limestone and granite with alkaline silt and clay on the basin floors. Caliche is common down there, and it is hard enough that a crew breaks through it rather than digs it.

That ground matters under a pad. Fill placed over soft or uneven ground settles, and a base course lift over a settled pad loses its shape.

Build the grade first, then the base.

A closed basin has nowhere to send water, so it stands until it soaks away or dries. Route roof and driveway water with drain rock instead of letting it sit against a foundation.

Spring through late fall is the working season. Snow and frozen ground shut down the high villages in winter, and basin ground stays soft well after a thaw.

Edgewood sits between 6,000 and 8,600 feet, takes real snow, and freezes and thaws all winter. Frost depth runs commonly 18 to 24 inches at these elevations, and the county building official sets footing depth.

Questions About Ordering in Edgewood

What is the best base under pavers in Edgewood?

Base course is the compacted layer that carries the load under a paver field. Crusher fines bed the pavers and fill the joints, packing to a firm walkable crust.

Stone screenings do the same bedding and joint work, though yards here reach for crusher fines first. Order the base course and the bedding as two separate materials.
