What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular and locks together when compacted. It is the right choice for bases and drainage because it stays put. Natural Pea Gravel is round and smooth. It moves underfoot and does not compact. Use crushed stone for structure and drainage, and use Natural Pea Gravel for play areas or decorative ground cover where you want a softer surface.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Order by the ton when you know the weight of what you need. Order by the yard when you are working from a volume measurement of your project area. Both work for delivery. If you measure your project in feet and inches, calculate the volume in cubic yards, then we can help you convert that to tons for the order.

Conejos County, CO Aggregate and Rock Delivery

Colorado Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Conejos County, CO with the materials local contractors and homeowners actually order. Class 6 road base leads the list. We also deliver crusher fines for pathways and squeegee for paver bedding. The San Luis Valley has heavy bentonite clay that moves with moisture, so the right base depth and drainage matter more here than in stable soils. We make sure you get the material that handles those conditions.

Materials Delivered in Conejos County

We organize our stock by material family so you can find what your project needs fast. Class 6 road base is the foundation for most work here. Class 5 is the heavier structural grade when you need more support. For surfacing, driveway gravel tops a compacted base, and walkway gravel gives a finer, walkable surface for paths. Crusher fines are the standard Colorado pathway surface, used widely by parks departments for trails and dog runs.

For drainage and bedding, squeegee is the local term for 1/4 inch minus washed stone used under pavers and flagstone. Drain rock handles French drains and downspout runs. The table below shows the most common materials we deliver in Conejos County and what they are used for.

Ground Conditions Across Conejos County

The ground here moves with water. Expansive bentonite clay is common along the Front Range and shifts as moisture changes. That means base depth and drainage matter more than they would in stable soils. You need a thicker base and a way for water to escape, or your driveway and pads will shift.

Spring snowmelt and short, intense summer thunderstorms send water across the ground fast. Runoff on slopes and in drainage swales after snowmelt and monsoon-season storms will scour the soil. That is why rip rap and cobble are used to armor the bank and slow the water. A layer of drain rock under your base gives water a path out instead of letting it soak into the clay.

Timing matters too. Base and drainage work runs best from late spring through fall. Frozen ground and snowpack limit compaction in winter at altitude. You also get repeated freeze-thaw cycling, often several cycles in a single week at altitude. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches in much of the state. Plan your base depth with that in mind, or frost heave will push your surface out of level.

Delivery Across Conejos County

We deliver bulk material to Antonito, Capulin, Conejos, La Jara, Manassa, Romeo, Sanford, and the surrounding areas. Ordering online is simple. You choose your material and size your load by the ton or by the yard. If you are not sure how much you need, measure your project area and depth, then we help you figure the right amount.

When the truck arrives, have a clear spot for the drop. We can place the material in a pile where you direct us. Bulk delivery means you get the material on the ground, ready for you to spread. That works well for a Class 6 base on a new driveway or a load of topsoil for a lawn. Just make sure the access path is clear for the truck.

Choosing the Right Material

The right material shifts with the ground you are building on. In Costilla, also in the San Luis Valley, the ground conditions match Conejos County. You need the same attention to base depth and drainage because the clay behaves the same. Class 6 road base is your starting point there as well.

Over in Crowley on the Eastern Plains, the soil is sandier and drains faster. You may not need as thick a drainage layer, but you still want a solid base. In Custer in the High Country, you deal with more rock and steeper slopes. There, rip rap and cobble for erosion control become more important than in the valley.

For most projects in Conejos County, start with Class 6 road base for the structure. Add drain rock where water collects. Use crusher fines for pathways and squeegee for paver bedding. That combination handles the clay, the snowmelt, and the freeze-thaw cycles you get here.
