Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Tijeras, NM? New Mexico Rock Supply brings bulk material to your driveway, patio or drainage project.

Most ground here starts as stony soil over caliche, so what you put down has to suit it.

Materials for Tijeras Projects

Decorative rock is where a lot of Tijeras yards start, and dry creek beds are a natural fit on sloped ground. Rounded stone reads well in beds and moves water where you want it.

For a driveway, start with base course and top it with driveway gravel on a long rural approach. Base course is also called Type I or Type II base course, or 3/4 minus, and it is what New Mexico calls road base.

For a patio or path, crusher fines give you a compacted surface sold by color. Natural Pea Gravel and river rock work for open ground cover and bed borders.

For a drain, use drain rock in a French drain or dry well, and rip rap where runoff needs armoring on a bank or culvert outlet. Rounded stone does not lock together, so keep it out of load-bearing spots.

Sand and soil fill out the rest: mason sand for block and stucco work, topsoil and garden soil over thin desert ground.

Ground and Conditions in Tijeras

Stony limestone and granite soils are common across the Central mountains and closed basins. Caliche is also common on the basin floors, and it does not drain, so water sits on top of it.

An under-built base over that ground moves and ruts. Get the subgrade right and the material above it holds.

Monsoon storms run off rock and thin soil within minutes up in the mountains. That is why arroyo banks and culvert outlets need rip rap, and why foundation drains matter on a slope.

Tijeras sits between 6,000 and 8,600 feet and takes real snow. Frost depth is commonly 18 to 24 inches at these elevations, and the county building official sets footing depth.

Spring through late fall is the working season. Basin ground stays soft well after a thaw, so timing matters for a base course lift.
