Bulk Material Delivery in Ocate, NM

What do you order when the water comes off the slope faster than the ground will take it? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Ocate, NM, that question usually points to coarse stone first.

New Mexico Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it to your site.

Start with rip rap or large river rock on the banks, then bring in base course where you need a compacted surface. The northern high country ground decides the rest.

Materials for Ocate Projects

Storm water off steep ground scours banks, swales and culvert outlets before it soaks in. Start the order at the coarse end and work down to the fines.

Bank and slope protection

RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and dry creek headers against monsoon flash flow.

Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and drainage swales, and takes the heavier decorative and erosion work. Rounded stone is a surface and fill material, not a structural one.

Rio Grande River Rock finishes borders, decorative beds and splash aprons under canales. It is a rounded stone, so use it where looks and light cover matter more than holding a bank.

Drainage and drive stone

Drain Rock goes into French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout splash runs. Water that cannot soak into crusted ground needs somewhere to go.

3/4 Crushed Rock handles drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and drip strips against a foundation. For a long rural approach, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base course.

Base Course, also called Type I or Type II base course, is what New Mexico calls road base. It builds driveways, parking pads and slab or shed bases.

Fines, sand and soil

Crusher Fines is a screened fines product sold by color, and it packs to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and courtyards.

Mason Sand, usually listed around here as plaster sand, serves block, brick and adobe work, stucco coats and paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork.

Top Soil feeds lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin ground, while Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course lift goes down.

Delivery to Ocate and the Surrounding Area

New Mexico Rock Supply covers Ocate and the rest of Mora County, including Mora, Wagon Mound, Chacon, Cleveland and Guadalupita. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile, so the drop spot needs clear access and firm enough ground for the truck.

Have the pile location settled before the truck arrives. Deliveries run through the working season, roughly late spring through October, because frozen ground stops compaction all winter and the high valleys thaw last.

Ground and Conditions in Ocate

This part of New Mexico sits in the cold end of the state. Snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run off steep slopes and shallow soil.

Water arrives faster than Stone Screenings and tuff will take it once the surface has crusted, and the acequia ditches carry the overflow. That is why coarse stone goes in first on banks, swales and outlets.

Steep slope runoff, arroyo and acequia bank scour after storms, and post fire runoff off burn scars drive the erosion work. The residential code puts Mora County in the highest air freezing index bands in the state.

Frost depth is about 24 inches around Santa Fe and deeper in the mountain towns above it, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Do not build a base below the frost line. Schedule around the season instead, and get the drainage course down while the ground is still open.
