Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Prewitt, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Prewitt, NM to rural drives, pads and yards across McKinley County. Base course leads the order list here, because almost every hard surface out this way starts as a compacted lift of it.

From that first load of base course through decorative rock, sand and topsoil, you order online and a dump truck tips the material on your site.

Materials for Prewitt Projects

Base course anchors the work. New Mexico crews specify it as Type I base course, Type II base course, or 3/4 minus, and it is the material that carries a drive, a parking pad, or the floor of a slab or shed.

Base course is the same product New Mexico calls road base. It goes down first, over fill dirt where the grade has to come up.

Above that base, two surfacing choices cover most drives. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base course on a long rural approach, and 3/4 Crushed Rock works as drive surfacing, drainage bed and a drip strip against a foundation.

For a finer topping course over compacted base, 3/8" Crushed Stone is the smaller gray crushed size.

Water has to have somewhere to go, so drainage stone matters as much as surfacing. Drain Rock fills French drains, dry wells and foundation drains.

RipRap armors arroyo banks, culvert outlets and slope faces against flash flow.

Numbered sizes are specification language in New Mexico. #57, #67, #4, #8 and #89 stone appear on plans by number because yards here sell by inch size and color.

Sand covers bedding and masonry. Mason Sand, listed at many yards as plaster sand, handles block, brick, adobe, stucco coats and paver joints.

Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork.

For ground that will not grow, Top Soil dresses lawns and tree wells, and Garden Soil fills raised beds over caliche. Rio Grande River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel finish beds and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Prewitt

Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, water drives every decision. Shale clay and slickrock shed rain rather than take it, so monsoon runoff and spring snowmelt reach the washes fast and pond in low yards.

Clay that swells wet and shrinks dry is the other half of the problem under slabs and drives. That is why base course gets compacted rather than dumped and left, and why a drainage layer earns its place.

Flash flow down arroyos scours bare ground, and wind strips sand off anything unplanted. Rip rap on a bank or a culvert outlet slows that water before it cuts.

In this zone, deep expansive clays weathered from Mancos and Fruitland shale sit under the basin floor, and caliche is cemented into older terrace gravels.

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

Nights here run below freezing from November into March, and repeated freeze and thaw heaves gravel drives and lifts flatwork set straight on clay.

Footing depth is set by the city or county building official. Cold high desert ground at 5,000 to 7,000 feet freezes deep enough that a footing depth is worth confirming before you pour.
