Washed Sand Delivery for Navajo Dam, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Navajo Dam, NM, and the ground here decides how a project starts. Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, thin sandy soils sit over slickrock on the mesas and deep expansive clays spread across the basin floor.

That is why base course matters so much on this side of the state. A pad or drive built straight on shale clay moves with the seasons, and no surface material fixes that.

Delivery to Navajo Dam and the Surrounding Area

Ordering runs online from start to finish. You pick your material, set a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you need help sizing the load.

A dump truck then tips the material on your site in one pile. We deliver across Navajo Dam and the rest of San Juan County, including Farmington, Shiprock, Bloomfield, Aztec and Flora Vista.

Materials for Navajo Dam Projects

Building pads and raised grade come first on a lot with thin soil over rock. Fill dirt is bulk fill and backfill, and it goes down before a base course lift.

It raises the grade so the finished surface sits above the ground around it.

Once the pad is up, base course is the compacted layer under a drive, a parking pad, or a slab and shed base. New Mexico specifies it as Type I or Type II base course, and yards sell it as 3/4 minus.

Order it at Base Course.

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base course on a long rural approach. Where a slab or flatwork is going in, Washed Sand beds and levels the material underneath.

For a patio or a path, crusher fines pack to a firm walkable crust and come in colors. They suit paths, patios, courtyards and xeriscape walkways.

Order them at Crusher Fines.

For drainage, Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains. Rip rap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets against flash flow.

Ground and Conditions in Navajo Dam

The soils across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin split into two problems. Mesa tops are thin sand over slickrock, and the basin floor is deep clay weathered from Mancos and Fruitland shale.

Older terrace gravels above the rivers carry cemented caliche.

Shale clay and slickrock shed water instead of taking it. Monsoon runoff and spring snowmelt reach the washes fast and pond in low yards, and the same clay swells wet and shrinks dry under a slab or a drive.

An under-built base shows that movement first. Fill dirt brings the pad up to grade, and base course goes down over it so the surface has something that holds its shape.

Work runs from spring into late fall. Winter freezes the ground, and wet shale clay in a March thaw will not compact.

Order Fill and Base Course for Your Navajo Dam Project

Fill dirt and base course are the two materials that make a pad or drive work on this ground. Start with the fill to raise grade, then cap it with base course.

New Mexico Rock Supply delivers both across Navajo Dam, so pick your material and place your order online when you are ready.
