River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Quay, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Quay, NM, with base course leading the list. Base course, also called Type I or Type II, is what this state calls road base, and it is the compacted layer under drives, parking pads and shed floors.

Quay sits in Quay County on the Eastern High Plains and Llano Estacado side of the state, where sandy plains soils sit over a caliche caprock.

Materials for Quay Projects

Washed stone is where a lot of drainage work starts here. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone that lets water move instead of holding it.

Drain Rock is the workhorse for those runs. It goes into French drains, dry wells and foundation drains, and it handles the splash water that comes off a roof during a storm.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are the numbered sizes for the same kind of work. New Mexico yards sell by inch size and color, so the numbers read as specification language.

#89 Stone is a smaller washed stone. It fits tight bedding and narrow paver joints where the bigger sizes will not sit.

For the ground around a foundation, 3/4 Crushed Rock makes a drip strip that moves roof and slab water away from the wall.

Where a slope or a culvert outlet has to hold against fast water, RipRap armors the bank.

Properties and paths usually go the other direction. Crusher Fines is a screened fines product sold by color, and it packs to a firm walkable crust for patios, courtyards and xeriscape walkways.

For planting, Top Soil covers lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin ground.

Ground and Conditions in Quay

Spring through late fall is the working season here. Winter wind and frozen ground stop compaction on the northern plains, and spring is the windiest and dustiest stretch of the year.

Across the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks, wind erosion comes first. Open plains, dry springs and loose sand move material before water ever does.

The caliche caprock under much of this ground holds water near the surface, and the Llano drains into closed playa basins instead of rivers. Low ground ponds after every heavy storm.

That is where the washed stone matters. A drain rock run or a drywell gives that water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a foundation.

Storm runoff then cuts the caprock escarpment and the breaks, and playa margins scour after heavy rain. RipRap at a culvert outlet or along an arroyo bank is the standard answer.

Freeze and thaw works gravel drives loose every spring. Frost depth runs 18 to 24 inches on the northern plains and less on the southern Llano, and the county building official sets footing depth.
