Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Grants, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Grants, NM to driveways, pads and building sites. Base course leads the work here, and timing matters.

Base course and hardscape work run from spring into late fall.

Winter freezes the ground, and wet shale clay in a March thaw will not compact. Order online and set your delivery date at checkout.

Materials for Grants Projects

Base course is the compacted layer under a drive, a parking pad or a shed slab. Around Grants the thin sandy ground over sandstone and shale does not hold a load on its own, so a drive starts with a base that does.

Base course is also called Type I base course, Type II base course or 3/4 minus. Base Course is the starting point for a rural approach, and Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Water has to leave the drive. Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs.

Washed stone covers drainage that needs a specific grade. The numbered sizes read as specification language here because yards sell by inch size and color.

#57 stone and #67 stone go into drainage trenches and concrete. 3/4 Crushed Rock is a gray crushed stone for drainage beds, drive surfacing and a drip strip against a foundation.

Sand, soil and decorative stone finish the site. Washed sand beds and levels flatwork.

Mason sand, sold around here as plaster sand, handles block, brick, stucco and paver joints. Topsoil and garden soil build beds and tree wells over caliche.

Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and crusher fines cover the walkable and decorative ground.

Ground and Conditions in Grants

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 the same way.

That is why drainage comes before surfacing. A drip strip of 3/4 crushed rock against a foundation and a drain rock bed at the low corner move water away from the structure.

Erosion follows the same water. Flash flow down arroyos cuts gullies, and wind strips sand off bare ground.

Riprap headers and dry creek beds of large river rock slow that loss at the bank and the swale.

Grants sits in Cibola County on the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin side of the state. The working season runs spring into late fall, and spring snowmelt makes the ground slow to dry.

Delivery to Grants and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and tips the load on site in one pile. The driver does not spread it, so pick a spot with room for the pile and clear overhead wires.
