Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Las Vegas, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Las Vegas, NM to two kinds of buyers: contractors grading and building, and homeowners working a yard or a long drive. Base course is the local name for the compacted material under drives, pads and slab bases.

This page leads with soil and fill, because grading and bed prep come before any stone goes down. The ground here decides how much of that prep you need.

Materials for Las Vegas Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil. Screened Top Soil goes on lawns, tree wells and beds, spread over thin ground that has little to work with.

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

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course lift goes down. On a sloped lot, that fill is what gives you a level pad to build on.

Once grade is set, base course carries the load. It is sold as Type I or Type II base course and as 3/4 minus, and it goes under driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

For a walkable surface, Crusher Fines pack to a firm crust and suit paths, patios, courtyards and dog runs. They are sold by color, so a path can match the house.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them.

Sand rounds out the prep work. Mason Sand, listed locally as plaster sand, handles block, brick and adobe work plus stucco coats.

Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork and slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Las Vegas

Water drives the material choices here. Across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the northern high country, snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run down steep slopes and shallow soil.

That water arrives faster than Stone Screenings and tuff will take it once the surface has crusted. Where it has nowhere to go, it scours banks and ditches instead.

Steep slope runoff and arroyo bank scour after storms are the pattern, and post fire runoff off burn scars adds to it.

So drainage gets planned before surfacing. Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains, and it carries canale and downspout splash runs away from the wall.

RipRap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets.

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

Footing depth is set by the local building official, so check with that office before you pour.

Questions About Ordering in Las Vegas

What stone should I use for drainage in Las Vegas?

It depends on where the water has to go. Drain Rock suits French drains, dry wells and foundation drains, and it works for canale and downspout splash runs.
