Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Gladstone, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Gladstone, NM, from base course to bedding sand. Gladstone sits in Union County, on the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks side of the state.

You order online by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site. Everything here starts with what goes under the pavers and flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Gladstone

Across this part of New Mexico, deep sandy and loamy plains soils sit over the Ogallala, with a cemented caliche caprock under much of the Llano Estacado. A thin base over ground like that shows its failure fast.

Pavers and slabs rock, joints open, and the surface dips where the material beneath them shifts. The fix is a properly bedded surface, not a thicker topping.

Water is the other half of it. Caliche holds water near the surface, and low ground ponds after heavy storms instead of draining away.

Wind erosion comes first on the open plains, with dry springs and loose sand. Storm runoff then cuts the caprock escarpment and the breaks.

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

Cold, windy winters are hardest around Clayton, Des Moines and Tucumcari, and milder on the southern Llano around Portales and Clovis. Frost depth runs commonly 18 to 24 inches on the northern plains and less on the southern Llano, and the county building official sets footing depth.

Materials for Gladstone Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the work that decides how a patio or slab performs here, so start with the material that goes directly under it. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, is the bedding and leveling sand under slabs and flatwork.

Stone Screenings, also called screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. New Mexico yards more often reach for crusher fines on the same jobs.

Crusher Fines are screened crushed rock fines that pack to a firm walkable crust. They suit paths, patios, courtyards, dog runs and xeriscape walkways, and they are sold by color across New Mexico yards.

Under all of that, Base Course is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, slab and shed bases. It is what New Mexico calls road base, and it also goes by Type I base course, Type II base course and 3/4 minus.

Mason Sand, also called plaster sand or masonry sand, handles block, brick and adobe work, stucco and plaster scratch and brown coats, and paver joints.

Around the hard surfaces, Drain Rock takes French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout splash runs where storm water has to go somewhere. RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slopes.
