Materials for Flora Vista Projects

Monsoon water has to go somewhere. Around Flora Vista, French drains, drywells and downspout runs carry it away from foundations and low spots, and washed stone is what those runs are built from.

Drain Rock is the open, washed stone for French drains, dry wells and foundation drains. It stays open so water moves through instead of ponding against a wall.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are sized for drainage trenches and concrete aggregate. New Mexico yards sell by inch size and color, so the numbered sizes read as specification language here.

3/8" Crushed Stone is the fine end: pipe bedding, tight drainage and a topping course over compacted base course. #89 Crushed Stone is smaller washed stone for narrow paver joints and tight bedding.

For the drive itself, Base Course is the compacted base, also called Type I or Type II base course and 3/4 minus. Crusher Fines pack to a firm, walkable crust for paths, patios and dog runs.

RipRap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets against flash flow.

Ground and Conditions in Flora Vista

Base course and hardscape work runs from spring into late fall. Winter freezes the ground, and wet shale clay in a March thaw will not compact, so timing a delivery matters.

Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, shale clay and slickrock shed water rather than take it. Monsoon runoff and spring snowmelt reach the washes fast and pond in low yards.

Clay that swells wet and shrinks dry works under slabs and drives. Cemented caliche in the older terrace gravels above the rivers is the other layer a crew has to break through.

Nights run below freezing from November into March, and the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. That heaves gravel drives and lifts flatwork set straight on shale clay.

Frost depth is about 24 inches around Farmington and the San Juan valley. The city or county building official sets footing depth.
