Materials for Ojo Caliente Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the finish work around here, and it holds up where a lawn is a fight. Beds, borders, dry creek beds, and ground cover all start with the right stone.

For a dry creek bed or a drainage swale, Large River Rock is the heavy rounded stone that carries the look and the flow. Line banks and swale edges with it.

Rio Grande River Rock fills decorative beds and borders and works as a splash apron under a canale. Its rounded shape suits dry arroyo landscaping.

Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs, and drainage beds, and it sits well around xeriscape plantings. It is rounded, so it stays loose underfoot.

Paths and patios that need a firm crust take Crusher Fines, a screened product sold by color. It packs to a walkable surface for courtyards and dog runs.

For a driveway, start with Base Course, the compacted lift that carries the load, then top it with Driveway Gravel on a long rural approach.

Drainage and slope work takes Drain Rock in French drains and splash runs, and RipRap on arroyo banks and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Ojo Caliente

Soils across the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the northern high country run to Stone Screenings and stony mountain ground, with sandy clay alluvium and caliche in the basins below. That caliche layer stops water and roots alike.

An under-built base on that ground shows up fast. Break through the hard layer, bring the grade up, and put a compacted lift down before any surface stone goes on.

Water arrives faster than these soils take it once the surface has crusted. Snowmelt off the high country in spring gives way to monsoon cloudbursts that run off steep slopes and shallow ground.

Arroyo and acequia banks scour after storms, and post fire runoff off burn scars in the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the Santa Fe watershed moves a lot of material. Armor those banks with rip rap and give the water a path.

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

Northern New Mexico carries the hardest freezing in the state. The residential code puts Rio Arriba, Colfax, Mora and Taos in the highest air freezing index bands, and footing depth is set by the local building official.
