Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Folsom, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Folsom, NM, from base course to washed stone. Base course is the local name for road base, and it is the compacted layer that carries a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor.

Ground across the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks is sandy and loamy over caliche. Water that gets through the soil stops at the caliche caprock and sits, so drainage material matters here.

Materials for Folsom Projects

Water is the driver on most sites in this part of Union County. Caliche holds it near the surface, and low ground ponds after a heavy storm.

Washed stone gives that water somewhere to go.

Drain Rock is the open graded stone for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout splash runs. The voids between the pieces let water move instead of pooling against a wall.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are washed sizes for drainage trenches and French drains. The numbered sizes are specification language in New Mexico, where yards sell by inch size and color.

3/4 Crushed Rock is angular crushed stone for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and drip strips along a foundation. 3/8" Crushed Stone works as fine drainage and a topping course over compacted base course.

For arroyo banks and culvert outlets, RipRap armors slopes against flash flow.

Base Course is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads and slab or shed bases.

Ground and Conditions in Folsom

Spring through late fall is the main working season on this side of the state. Winter wind and frozen ground stop compaction, and spring is the windiest and dustiest stretch of the year.

Wind erosion comes first across the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks. Open plains, dry springs and loose sand move material, and storm runoff then cuts the caprock escarpment and the breaks.

Repeated freeze and thaw works gravel drives loose every spring on the northern plains. Frost depth is commonly 18 to 24 inches around Clayton and Des Moines, and the county building official sets footing depth.

Caliche under shallow soil is the other constraint. A base course lift over fill dirt gives a drive something that holds, and drainage stone keeps water off the edge of it.
