Base Course, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Union County, NM
Wind moves first on the open plains. Loose sand lifts, then storm runoff cuts the caprock escarpment and the Canadian River breaks.
New Mexico Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate in Union County, NM. Base course is the material that answers both problems, and it is what most pads and drives here start from.

Materials delivered in Union County
Base course is the local name for road base. Section 303 allows crushed stone, crushed or screened gravel, caliche, sand and recycled asphalt or concrete pavement, and sets Type I and Type II gradation bands, both passing a 1 inch sieve.
City specifications follow the same definition. Order base course for driveways, parking pads, slab and shed bases.
Ground conditions across Union County
Across the Eastern High Plains, Llano Estacado and Canadian breaks, deep sandy and loamy plains soils sit over the Ogallala. A cemented caliche caprock lies under much of the Llano Estacado, and stony basalt and shale ground runs through the Canadian River breaks.
That caliche holds water near the surface. Low ground ponds after heavy storms, so plan a drainage layer before a base lift goes down.
Spring through late fall is the main working season. Cold, windy winters stop compaction, and spring is the windiest and dustiest stretch of the year.
Repeated 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.
Choosing the right material
Quay County and Harding County share this ground region, so the soil, the caliche caprock and the drainage behave the same way. Base course and drain rock choices carry over unchanged.
Colfax County spans more than one zone, reaching into the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and the northern high country. Ground there differs from the plains, which changes how a base and a drainage layer are planned.
