Materials for Ohkay Owingeh Projects

Decorative rock is the heart of most outdoor work here, and it starts with what the surface has to do. Beds, borders and dry creek beds each take a different stone.

Decorative beds and ground cover

Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded 3/8 inch stone for walkways, dog runs and gravel ground cover through xeriscape planting. It stays loose underfoot and lets water move.

Rio Grande river rock is the larger rounded stone for decorative beds, borders and splash aprons under canales. Its rounded shape suits cover and border work rather than a locked surface.

Dry creek beds and drainage

Large river rock, also called cobble, builds dry creek beds and drainage swales. Rip rap armors an arroyo bank or a culvert outlet against fast monsoon flow.

Drain rock handles French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs where storm water has to go somewhere. Crusher fines pack to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and courtyards, and they are sold by color.

Drives, pads and base

Base course, also called Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus, is the compacted layer under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base course on a long rural approach.

Ground and Conditions in Ohkay Owingeh

Across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the northern high country, the ground runs to Stone Screenings and stony mountain soils, with sandy clay alluvium and caliche in the basins below. Caliche is the hard layer a crew has to break through before any base goes down.

Water arrives faster than that ground will take it once the surface has crusted. Snowmelt comes off the high country in spring, then monsoon cloudbursts run off steep slopes and shallow soil.

An under-built base shows up first where water sits. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills before a base course lift goes down, and a drainage layer of drain rock or 3/4 crushed rock gives the water a path away from the edge.

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