Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Lamy, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Lamy, NM to sites across Santa Fe County. If you are grading a pad, building up a bed, or laying base course for a rural drive, the material starts with what is under the ground.

Ground here is stony mountain soil and sandy clay alluvium with caliche below. That caliche layer changes how you grade, and it changes what you put on top.

Materials for Lamy Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most sites in this part of the state. Fill, topsoil and garden soil set the grade before any stone goes down, and they are the materials to line up before the rest.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills around a foundation, a pad, or a low spot that holds water. It goes down before a base course lift.

Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin ground and caliche. It gives roots something to work into.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas, which is how most gardeners here get around a caliche layer instead of digging through it.

Once grade is set, base and stone take over.

• Base Course, also called Type I or Type II, is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, and slab or shed bases. It is what New Mexico calls road base.
• Crusher Fines pack to a firm, walkable crust for paths, patios, courtyards and xeriscape walkways.
• 3/4 Crushed Rock handles drainage beds, drive surfacing and drip strips against a foundation.
• Drain Rock goes into French drains, dry wells and foundation drains where monsoon water has to go somewhere.
• RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slopes against flash flow.

Sand and decorative stone round out a job. Mason Sand, sold locally as plaster sand, serves block, brick, adobe and stucco work.

Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork. Natural Pea Gravel and Rio Grande River Rock finish xeriscape beds and splash aprons.

Ground and Conditions in Lamy

Water drives everything here. Snowmelt off the high country comes in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run off steep slopes and shallow soil faster than Stone Screenings and tuff will take it once the surface has crusted.

Across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the northern high country, that runoff has to go somewhere. On a graded pad it pools at the low corner unless the grade sheds it away from the structure.

Erosion follows the same path. Steep slope runoff, arroyo and acequia bank scour after storms, and heavy post fire runoff off burn scars all move material downhill.

Rip rap and drain rock are how you hold those edges.

The working season is short, roughly late spring through October. Frozen ground stops compaction all winter, and the high valleys thaw last.

Grade and soil work fits best inside that window.
