Jarales sits in the Middle Rio Grande valley and rift, close to the river and the irrigation ditches. Driveway and pad work on the valley floor often starts with fill dirt and a base course lift, because the ground underneath needs help before anything goes on top.

Materials for Jarales Projects

Decorative rock carries the look on most Jarales yards, and the beds, dry creek beds and open ground cover are where it earns its place. Start with what the surface has to do, then pick the stone.

For a driveway or a parking pad, base course, also called Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer the surface sits on. Base Course is the local name for road base.

Topping that drive afterward is a job for Driveway Gravel.

For paths, patios and courtyards, Crusher Fines is the screened fines product that packs to a firm walkable crust. It is sold by color, and it is the default walkable surface in New Mexico.

Stone Screenings are the other option, and they bed pavers and flagstone as well as fill the joints between them.

For beds and ground cover, Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch stone for walkways, dog runs, drainage beds and xeriscape planting. Rio Grande River Rock is the larger rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and splash aprons under canales, and it reads well next to dry arroyo landscaping.

Dry creek beds and swales take Large River Rock, also called cobble. It is the heavy rounded stone for drainage swales, dry creek beds and erosion work where monsoon water has to move.

For a drain, Drain Rock is the open stone for French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs. Rip rap, also called riprap, arms arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slope faces against flash flow.

Beneath planting areas, Top Soil and Garden Soil build the growing layer. New Mexico gardeners use raised beds and garden soil to get around a caliche layer instead of digging through it.

Ground and Conditions in Jarales

Across the Middle Rio Grande valley and rift, the valley floor is sandy and gravelly river alluvium over old terraces. Under part of that sandy surface, caliche is cemented into the older terrace and piedmont deposits on both sides of the valley.

That combination matters. Sand and gravel drain freely until water reaches the caliche, and then it stops and sits.

A drive or pad built over that without enough base course underneath will move and rut.

Monsoon cloudbursts on the mesas run straight down the arroyos into the valley, and sheet flow crosses bare sandy ground. Bank scour along the river and the irrigation ditches follows the same storms, which is why arroyo banks and culvert outlets get rip rap.

Lots near the river and the acequias can also sit over a high water table. There, a drainage layer of drain rock or #57 stone keeps water moving instead of pooling under a slab.

Work runs close to year round here, sitting at about 4,700 to 5,400 feet. Summer heat and monsoon downpours interrupt a pour or a compaction pass, not cold.

Freezing nights and daytime thaws cycle through winter, so frost movement is frequent but shallow on the valley floor. Frost depth is about 16 inches in Albuquerque and 18 inches in Rio Rancho, and the city building official sets footing depth.
