Fill and Base Material Delivered in Floyd, NM

Storm water here has nowhere to go. Across the Eastern High Plains and Llano Estacado, low ground ponds after heavy rain, and the ground is sandy over a cemented caliche caprock.

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Floyd, NM, starting with base course, called Type I or Type II or 3/4 minus on local tickets. Fill and sub-base go down first to raise grade and build a pad.

Materials for Floyd Projects

Most pads here start below grade. Fill dirt raises the pad, then base course goes on top as a compacted sub-base under a drive, a parking pad, or a slab and shed base.

Both come in bulk.

For a driveway, order base course as the structural lift and top it with driveway gravel. On a long rural approach, driveway gravel also resurfaces an existing drive.

Both pack firm under traffic.

For a patio or path, crusher fines are the New Mexico choice. The screened crushed rock fines pack to a firm walkable crust and come in colors from local yards.

Stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

For drainage, use drain rock in French drains, dry wells and foundation drains. Rip rap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and dry creek headers against flash flow.

For beds and ground cover, Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs and xeriscape planting. Rio Grande river rock and large river rock work as decorative beds, dry creek beds and splash aprons under canales.

Ground and Conditions in Floyd

Sandy and loamy plains soils sit over the Ogallala, with a cemented caliche caprock under much of the Llano Estacado. Caliche holds water near the surface instead of letting it drain.

An under-built base on that ground pumps, shifts and breaks apart.

Wind erosion comes first on the open plains, and dry springs leave loose sand moving. Playa margins scour after heavy rain.

Build the pad high enough, and water runs away from the slab instead of sitting under it.

Spring through late fall is the working season. Compaction needs dry, thawed ground.

Spring is the windiest and dustiest stretch here, so loose sand and fines need attention before the wind takes them.

Order Fill and Base Course for Your Floyd Site

Base course is the material to know for any pad, drive or slab in Floyd, and fill dirt goes under it when grade has to come up. New Mexico Rock Supply delivers both in bulk across Roosevelt County.
