Materials for Maxwell Projects

Decorative rock carries the outdoor work here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and open ground cover all read as finished rock rather than lawn, which suits a short growing season and dry air.

Decorative Rock and Ground Cover

Rio Grande River Rock is rounded stone for decorative beds, borders and splash aprons under canales. Its rounded shape lets water move past it instead of locking into a crust.

Large River Rock is the cobble size, used for dry creek beds, drainage swales and heavier erosion work. Line a swale with it and runoff has a defined path across the yard.

Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs and drainage beds, and works as ground cover in xeriscape planting. The rounded 3/8 inch stone stays loose underfoot and drains freely.

Base, Drives and Drainage

Base Course is the compacted layer under drives, parking pads and shed slabs. New Mexico specifies it as Type I or Type II base course, and yards list it as 3/4 minus.

Drain Rock handles French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs where storm water has to go somewhere. Pair it with a swale and the water leaves the foundation alone.

RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slopes against flash flow.

Paths, Beds and Soil

Crusher Fines packs to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and courtyards, and sells by color. Garden Soil fills raised beds, which is how most gardeners here get around a caliche layer instead of digging through it.

Top Soil covers lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin alkaline ground. Mason Sand beds pavers and handles block, stucco and plaster work.

Ground and Conditions in Maxwell

Across the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks, deep sandy and loamy soils sit over a cemented caliche caprock. Water that gets through the sand stops at the caliche and sits near the surface.

An under-built base fails on that ground. Base course spread thin over soft sand pumps and ruts once it takes traffic, so the base layer has to be built to carry the load above it.

Wind erosion comes first on open plains with dry springs and loose sand. Storm runoff then cuts the caprock escarpment and the breaks, and low ground scours after heavy rain.

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

Cold, windy winters hit hardest around Clayton, Des Moines and Tucumcari, and run milder on the southern Llano around Portales and Clovis. Repeated freeze and thaw works gravel drives loose every spring.

Frost depth commonly runs 18 to 24 inches on the northern plains and less on the southern Llano. The county building official sets footing depth.
