Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Elida, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Elida, NM for contractors and homeowners alike. On the Eastern High Plains and Llano Estacado, base course is the material a drive, a parking pad or a shed base starts from.

For building new or topping an existing lane, the choice comes down to what the ground under it does with water.

Materials for Elida Projects

Base course, also sold as Type I or Type II base course and 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer under drives, parking pads, slab pads and shed floors.

Driveway gravel surfacing goes over a compacted base course on a long rural approach. For a finer top course, 3/8 inch crushed stone lays over base course and also serves pipe bedding and fine drainage.

Drain rock, #57 stone and #67 stone handle French drains, dry wells and foundation drains. Rip rap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets where flash flow cuts.

Crusher fines pack to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and courtyards, and stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone. Natural Pea Gravel and Rio Grande river rock finish xeriscape beds and splash aprons under canales.

Washed sand beds and levels flatwork; mason sand, often listed as plaster sand, serves block, stucco and paver joints. Topsoil and garden soil go over thin alkaline ground, and fill dirt raises grade before a base course lift.

Ground and Conditions in Elida

Across the Eastern High Plains and Llano Estacado, water is the driver. A cemented caliche caprock sits under much of the Llano, holding water near the surface, and the Llano drains into closed playa basins rather than to rivers.

Low ground ponds after every heavy storm. A drive or pad that traps that water softens from below, so the base course and the drainage layer around it have to shed water away from the edges.

Wind erosion comes first here: open plains, dry springs and loose sand. Storm runoff then cuts the caprock escarpment and the playa margins scour after heavy rain.

Spring through late fall is the main season for ground work. Winter wind and frozen ground stop compaction on the northern plains, and spring is the windiest and dustiest stretch of the year.

Repeated freeze and thaw works gravel drives loose every spring. Roosevelt County sets footing depth through its building official.
