Bulk Gravel Delivery to Mesquite, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mesquite, NM for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a driveway or a parking pad; others are bedding pavers, setting a shed base or finishing a path.

Base course, crusher fines and washed stone all leave the yard by the ton or the yard.

Mesquite sits in Dona Ana County, on the Chihuahuan Desert basin and range side of the state, where caliche often sits close under the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Mesquite

Across the Chihuahuan Desert basin and range, soil is sand, gravel and silt washed off the ranges into the basins. A hard caliche layer often sits within a foot or two of the surface, and the bajada slopes below the mountains run coarse and gravelly.

Caliche and crusted desert soil take almost no water. A monsoon cell can drop an inch in an hour and nearly all of it moves across the surface, down the bajada and into the arroyos.

That is where a thin base shows its weakness. Water sheets under the edge, the surface pumps and ruts, and the material works its way out of the drive.

A deeper compacted lift of base course spreads the load and holds the edge.

Work runs year round here. Summer heat and the July to September monsoon set the schedule, not winter, and the mild ground takes only light overnight freezes.

Materials for Mesquite Projects

Crusher fines are screened crushed rock fines that pack to a firm, walkable crust, which is why they suit paths, patios, courtyards, dog runs and xeriscape walkways. New Mexico yards sell them by color, so a path can read warm or gray without changing how it performs.

See Crusher Fines.

Stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. They are a bedding material rather than a surface, and they stay in body copy here because crusher fines are the usual reach for a walkable finish.

Base course is what New Mexico calls road base. It is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, slab and shed bases.

Order it as Base Course.

For a topping course over compacted base course, 3/8 inch crushed stone gives fine drainage and pipe bedding. It also works as a drip strip against a foundation.

See 3/8" Crushed Stone.

Where monsoon water has to go somewhere, drain rock fills French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and canale and downspout splash runs. Rip rap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets against flash flow.

Natural Pea Gravel rounds out walkways, dog runs and drainage beds.
