Soils and Sand Products
Topsoil and Fill Solutions
Topsoil and fill dirt are core products for many landscaping and construction projects in Los Alamos County. Screened topsoil provides a clean planting medium for gardens and revegetation on disturbed slopes. Fill dirt helps with grading, building low terraces, and preparing sites for foundations.
When restoring disturbed desert slopes or prepping a new garden bed near White Rock, use our topsoil to support plant establishment and match local drainage characteristics.
Sands for Masonry and Play Areas
Mason sand and washed sand are essential for pavers, mortar, and drainage applications. Playground sand meets safety requirements for parks and schools and is a common choice for family yards across the county.
Decorative & Specialty Rock
River Rock, Pea Gravel, and Decomposed Granite
For dry-climate gardens and low-maintenance yards, decorative rock is preferred. River rock creates focal beds and dry creek lines, while pea gravel offers a soft, comfortable walking surface for patios and play areas. Decomposed granite provides an attractive, permeable walking surface used throughout New Mexico landscapes.
- River rock reduces erosion when placed along drainage swales
- Pea gravel is popular for xeriscaping and drip irrigation beds
- Decomposed granite fits native desert palettes and compacts well
Driveways, Roads, and Structural Aggregates
Crushed Stone, Road Base, and Crusher Run
Our crushed stone products like 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and #57 Stone provide stable, mechanical interlock for driveways and structural bases. Road base and crusher run deliver compaction and load distribution for private access roads and driveways that see freeze-thaw cycles in winter.
Crushed Concrete for Sustainable Projects
Crushed concrete offers an economical, sustainable base material for driveways and paths. It recycles old concrete back into your project while providing reliable compaction and strength.
Drain Rock for Foundation and French Drains
Drain rock is essential for keeping foundations dry. In areas with seasonal snowmelt or concentrated runoff, installing drain rock around footing drains reduces water intrusion and helps manage hillside runoff.
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crushed Stone | Driveways, Foundations | 3/4 inch - 1 1/2 inch | Excellent |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, Concrete Mix | 1/2 inch - 1 inch | Very Good |
| River Rock | Dry Creek Beds, Accents | 1 inch - 4 inch | Good |
| Pea Gravel | Patios, Play Areas | 3/8 inch | Moderate |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, Xeriscape | Screened fines | Moderate |

Local Soil, Climate, and Geology Considerations
High Desert Climate and Snow
Los Alamos County sees cold winters with snow at higher elevations and dry, sunny summers. Freeze-thaw cycles require durable aggregates for driveways and road bases to avoid frost heave and potholing.
Pajarito Plateau Geology
The county sits on volcanic deposits and tuff that weather into rocky, sandy soils. This geology favors coarse aggregates for drainage and materials that resist compaction loss. Our aggregates are chosen to perform well with these local conditions.
Common Local Landscaping Challenges
- Erosion on steep canyon slopes
