Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Embudo, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Embudo, NM to sites across Rio Arriba County. Base course is the material a drive, a parking pad or a shed base starts from here.

Across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the northern high country, ground runs to Stone Screenings and stony mountain soil. That shapes how deep a base has to go before anything sits on it.

Materials for Embudo Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection around Embudo. Water off steep ground arrives fast, so the first question is what will hold a bank and slow a channel.

Coarse stone for banks and swales

RipRap is the largest material here. It armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slope faces against monsoon flash flow.

Large River Rock, also called cobble, builds dry creek beds and drainage swales. The rounded stone moves water without locking into a wall, which suits decorative and erosion work together.

Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains. It also handles canale and downspout splash runs where monsoon water has to go somewhere.

Mid sizes for drainage and surfacing

3/4 Crushed Rock is angular crushed stone. It works in drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and drip strips against a foundation.

#57 Stone is a numbered size, which reads as specification language in New Mexico because yards sell by inch and color. It suits drainage trenches, French drains and concrete aggregate.

Fine material for a finished surface

Crusher Fines is screened crushed rock fines that pack to a firm walkable crust. It is the compacting surface for paths, patios, courtyards, dog runs and xeriscape walkways, and it is sold by color.

Base Course, also called Type I base course, Type II base course or 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer under drives and pads. Caliche is a genuine part of that ground here, both as a base constituent and as the hard layer a crew has to break through.

Delivery to Embudo and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose 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.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site. Delivery covers Embudo and the surrounding area, including Espanola, Chimayo, Dulce, Ohkay Owingeh and El Rito in Rio Arriba County.

Think about where the pile lands before the truck arrives. The load tips in one pile, so leave clear room for it and keep the approach open.

Ground and Conditions in Embudo

The working season runs roughly late spring through October. Frozen ground stops compaction all winter and the high valleys thaw last, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.

Snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run off steep slopes and shallow soil. Water arrives faster than Stone Screenings and tuff will take it once the surface has crusted, and the acequia ditches carry the overflow.

That is why coarse stone belongs at the bank and the swale before anything else goes down. Steep slope runoff and arroyo bank scour after storms are the erosion drivers in this part of the state.

Freezing here is the hardest in New Mexico, and Rio Arriba County sits in the highest air freezing index bands in the state. Around Santa Fe, frost depth runs about 24 inches and deeper in the mountain towns above it, and the local building official sets footing depth.

On ground like this, base course goes down over fill dirt or existing grade to build a stable platform. Fill Dirt is the bulk fill and backfill that raises grade before a base course lift goes down.
