Materials for Sandia Park Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most ground here, and that starts with soil and fill. Caliche is common on the basin floors, so a raised bed is often easier than breaking through the hard layer.

• Top Soil: screened topsoil for lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin alkaline ground.
• Garden Soil: raised beds and planting areas, which is how most gardeners here get around a caliche layer instead of digging through it.
• Fill Dirt: bulk fill, raising grade and backfill before a base course lift goes down.

Base course, also called Type I or Type II base course or 3/4 minus, is what New Mexico calls road base. It is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, and slab and shed bases.

Washed stone covers drainage and surfacing. 3/4 Crushed Rock goes into drainage beds, drive surfacing and drip strips against a foundation.

Drain Rock handles French drains, dry wells and downspout splash runs. RipRap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets.

Sand and decorative rock finish the job. Mason Sand, also called plaster sand, covers block, stucco and paver joints.

Washed Sand beds and levels flatwork. Rio Grande River Rock suits decorative beds and splash aprons under canales.

Ground and Conditions in Sandia Park

A closed basin has nowhere to send water. Across the Central mountains and closed basins, playas fill and stay wet for weeks, while up in the mountains a monsoon storm runs off rock and thin soil within minutes.

That runoff has to go somewhere on your lot. Canales and downspouts need a splash run of drain rock or river rock so water lands on stone instead of bare ground.

A drip strip of 3/4 crushed rock against a foundation keeps roof water off the wall.

Storm runoff also cuts mountain drainages and forest roads, and wind and sheet erosion work across the open basin floors. RipRap on an arroyo bank or culvert outlet slows that flow before it takes the bank with it.

Soils here are stony limestone and granite in the mountains, with alkaline silt and clay and caliche on the basin floors. Fill dirt and a base course lift let you build a grade that sheds water instead of holding it.

Elevation drives the calendar. Tijeras and Edgewood sit between 6,000 and 8,600 feet and take real snow, and frost depth there runs 18 to 24 inches.
