Buy Crushed Stone in Pecos, New Mexico

Pecos gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout are real concerns for any aggregate surface. Choosing the right crushed stone size helps keep water moving through the base instead of pooling and softening the ground underneath.

Crushed stone is sold by the ton in several sizes, each designed for a specific layer or job. The wrong size can lead to shifting, poor compaction or clogged drainage.

Crushed Stone Sizes Available for Pecos Deliveries

The most commonly ordered size for general use is 3/4" crushed stone. It works as a base layer, in drainage trenches and under concrete slabs. Other sizes handle more specialized tasks.

How Pecos Weather Affects Your Crushed Stone Job

Pecos sees about 168 days a year below 32 degrees F. Each freeze-thaw cycle pushes up on any base that is not properly compacted, causing heaves and ruts. Snowfall averages 26 inches annually, and plowing can scrape loose stone away from the surface if the base layer is too thin. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Soils mapped in the Pecos area are commonly well drained, which reduces the amount of base stone needed under a surface course. The ground around Pecos takes in water at a moderate rate, so the standard base depth of 4 to 6 inches is usually enough for most residential jobs. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, meaning a deeper base is only needed on heavy-traffic driveways.

About 88 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground, not after a wet spell, helps avoid soft spots.

Estimating the Tonnage of Crushed Stone for Your Pecos Project

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. The amount you need depends on the area in square feet and the compacted depth in inches. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a tonnage estimate before you order. The calculator accounts for compaction loss and works for any of the sizes listed above.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Pecos

How many tons of crushed stone do I need for my project?

The amount depends on your square footage and the compacted depth you plan. Ground freezing in Pecos is moderate, so a base depth of 6 inches is typical for driveways. Use the crushed stone calculator for a tonnage estimate based on your project area.

Do you deliver crushed stone to Pecos and the surrounding area?

Yes. We deliver to Pecos and the larger San Miguel County area. Pecos gets about 26 inches of snow annually, so plowing can disturb a loose surface; ordering a compacted base course helps protect the finished layer. Enter your ZIP at checkout to confirm delivery availability and see the price.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

Each size is defined by its maximum particle diameter and the amount of fines (dust and small chips) it contains. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch and #10 screenings are used for leveling and bedding. Larger sizes like 1-1 1/2 inch and 2-3 inch are for heavy base and erosion control. Open-graded sizes like #57 let water flow through, while dense-graded sizes like 3/4 inch compact to a solid mass.

How is crushed stone measured and sold?

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. The weight per cubic foot varies by size and moisture content, but the calculator on our site converts volume to tons based on the product you select. You order by the ton, and the dump truck delivers that exact weight.
