Crushed Stone ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Tijeras address and unloads right where you point.








For contractors working in Tijeras, the local climate shapes the schedule. Tijeras sees about 118 days each year with temperatures below 32F, which means the ground can move during freeze-thaw cycles. That affects how deep you need to set a base layer and when you can place it.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Ordering crushed stone online and having it dumped on site fits into a busy season without losing time to material pickups.
The most-ordered crushed stone size for Tijeras jobs is 3/4" Crushed Stone. It works as a base layer, drainage aggregate, and general fill. For other applications, the table below matches size to use.
| Product | Typical Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Works well under permeable pavers and as a leveling course. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Handles heavy traffic and allows water to pass through. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger aggregate resists washout on slopes and under high loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Used for ditch lining, retaining wall backfill, and mud control. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, open-graded stone that drains freely. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly larger than #57, good for utility trench backfill. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone that locks well under compaction. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fines-rich material that compacts to a smooth, hard surface. |
The table below matches five typical jobs to the best crushed stone size and a placement note.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Use wrapped in filter fabric to keep fines out. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | Small enough to flow around pipes without bridging. |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compact in lifts to create a stable platform. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | Screeded to an even thickness for level paver support. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compacted in 4-inch lifts with a geotextile below. |
Tijeras gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year. That low total means drainage and washout planning matter more than overall wetness. With only about 32 wet days annually, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is straightforward if you avoid the rare rain event.
The ground around Tijeras is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place in any project that handles runoff. About 118 days a year drop below 32F, so freeze-thaw cycles can move the ground. That affects how deep you set a base and when you can place it.
Snowfall averages about 12 inches a year. Loose surfaces like a fresh gravel driveway can be damaged by plowing, so plan for that. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer depth does not need to account for deep frost. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Bernalillo County permitted about 742 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that indicates steady demand for crushed stone for foundations and driveways.
