Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Tohatchi, NM

New Mexico Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Tohatchi, NM, from base course for a drive to rip rap for a wash bank.

This is mesa country. Thin sandy soil sits over slickrock, and water runs off instead of soaking in.

That shapes what you put down and how deep the base course goes.

Materials for Tohatchi Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection start with coarse stone. Water moving off slickrock and down an arroyo carries sand and cuts a bank fast, so the first question is what the water hits on its way through.

RipRap armors an arroyo bank, a culvert outlet or a slope face.

Large River Rock builds a dry creek bed or a drainage swale where you want the water to read as landscape rather than as a fix. It also anchors a splash apron under a canale.

Below that, Drain Rock fills a French drain, a dry well or a foundation drain. #4 Crushed Stone handles heavier drainage, trench bottoms and rough arroyo crossings.

For a drive, Base Course is the compacted layer that carries the load, and Driveway Gravel surfaces it or tops an existing run. Both are graded material, so they lock up under a tire.

Finer work goes the other way. Crusher Fines pack to a firm walkable crust for paths, patios and courtyards, and they are sold by color.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Rounded stone is decorative and free draining, not structural. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, dog runs and xeriscape ground cover.

Rio Grande River Rock borders beds and dry arroyo landscaping.

For planting, Top Soil covers thin alkaline ground and caliche, and Garden Soil fills raised beds. Mason Sand takes block, stucco and paver joints, while Washed Sand beds flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Tohatchi

Work here runs from spring into late fall. Winter freezes the ground, and shale clay in a March thaw will not compact, so a base course lift placed then will not hold.

Across the Colorado Plateau and San Juan Basin, shale clay and slickrock shed water rather than take it. Monsoon runoff and spring snowmelt reach the washes fast and pond in low yards.

That clay swells wet and shrinks dry, which works against anything set straight on it. The same flash flow cuts gullies in bare ground and strips sand off unplanted ground.

Cold high desert at this elevation means nights below freezing from November into March. The ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, which heaves gravel drives and lifts flatwork set on shale clay.

Frost depth runs about 24 inches around Farmington and the San Juan valley, and the city or county building official sets footing depth.
