Materials for Shiprock Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills before anything else goes down.

Topsoil and garden soil build the planting layer over thin sandy ground and caliche.

Caliche is the hard cemented layer a crew has to break through in the older terrace gravels. Garden soil in raised beds is how most gardeners work around it instead of digging through it.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

• Fill Dirt for bulk fill, raising grade and backfill before a base course lift.
• Top Soil for lawns, tree wells and bed prep over thin desert ground.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.
• Shredded Mulch for tree wells and shaded beds through the dry spring.

Base, Stone and Sand

Base course is the local name for road base. It goes under driveways, parking pads and slab bases.

Crusher fines pack to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and xeriscape walkways, and yards sell them by color. Natural Pea Gravel and 3/4 crushed rock cover walkways, drainage beds and drip strips against a foundation.

Mason sand, also sold as plaster sand, handles block, stucco and paver joints. Washed sand beds and levels flatwork.

Numbered sizes like #57 stone and #8 crushed stone read as specification language here because yards sell by inch and color.

Ground and Conditions in Shiprock

Water drives the work here. 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.

Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, clay that swells wet and shrinks dry is the other half of the problem under slabs and drives. That ground moves with the seasons.

Flash flow down arroyos and slickrock washes cuts gullies in bare shale badlands. Wind strips sand off unplanted ground.

Rip rap armors arroyo banks and culvert outlets, and drain rock gives monsoon water somewhere to go.

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