Buy Crushed Stone with Delivery in Hobbs, New Mexico 88244
Open a product to see your delivered price for 88244.
Crushed stone comes in eight sizes on this page, and the size you pick decides how the material performs. A 3/4 inch stone and a #89 stone are the same rock, but one builds a driveway base and the other fills paver joints. Get the size wrong and the job either fails or costs more than it should.
Hobbs gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning belong in the size decision, not after it. This page covers what each size is for, how deep to go by job, and how to size the order before checkout.
Crushed stone sizes delivered in Hobbs, New Mexico
Every product below is crushed stone, so the difference is gradation: how big the individual pieces are and how tightly they pack. Coarser stone drains faster and locks together under load. Finer stone beds pavers and finishes a surface. Read the use column against your job before you pick a number.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | Driveway and road base, construction foundations, drainage, wall backfill | The standard base stone for driveways and foundations in most builds. |
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Walkways and patio surfaces, driveway top dressing, pipe bedding | A finer surface stone that also beds pipe and finishes a path. |
| #57 Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, wall backfill, driveway surfaces | Drains well and locks under traffic, which suits drains and driveways. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete aggregate, drainage and infiltration, pipe bedding | Slightly finer than #57, useful where infiltration matters more than load. |
| #89 Crushed Stone | Paver and flagstone joints, chip seal, concrete mixes, walkway bedding | A fine stone for joints and bedding where coarse material will not sit. |
| #8 Crushed Stone | Permeable paver base and joints, drainage layers, concrete aggregate | Small enough for permeable joints, still open enough to drain. |
| #4 Crushed Stone | Heavy-duty base, erosion control, high-volume drainage, gabion fill | The coarsest size here, for heavy base and high-flow drainage. |
| Stone Screenings | Paver and flagstone bedding, base leveling, joint filling, compacted paths | Fine screenings that level a base and lock pavers into place. |
How deep to go, job by job, in Hobbs
Homeowner jobs come first below, then trade work. The depth column is a starting point for landscaping and drainage work, not a specification for anything engineered. For retaining walls, septic work or anything load bearing, follow the project engineer's design.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Bedding a pipe run | #67 Stone or 3/8" Crushed Stone | Bed the pipe in fine, uniform stone so the barrel is fully supported. |
| A driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Build the base in lifts and compact each one before the next. |
| A concrete pour | #57 Stone or #67 Stone | Use a washed, uniform aggregate; the mix design sets the proportions. |
| A French drain | #57 Stone or #4 Crushed Stone | Coarse, open stone around the pipe keeps water moving to the outlet. |
| A paver patio build-up | Stone Screenings over #8 Crushed Stone | Open base below, fine bedding above, joints filled last. |
What ZIP 88244 changes about a crushed stone order
ZIP 88244 covers about 0.05 square miles of land, so two addresses inside it can sit well apart. The delivery address matters more than the ZIP does, and the access path at that address is what the truck has to work with.
The survey point near the centre of this ZIP falls in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in faster-draining ground. Judge drainage at the actual site, because one sampled point does not describe every parcel.
About 31 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground rather than a soft shoulder. Ground here rarely freezes hard, so this is work that can be scheduled through most of the year. The ZIP centre sits about 4.5 miles from the centre of Hobbs, and the climate and soil figures above were read at this ZIP, not at the city centre.
Working out how much crushed stone a Hobbs job takes
Measure the area, decide the depth, and let the crushed stone calculator convert that to the quantity you need. Bulk stone arrives as a truck load rather than as bags, and the price shown at checkout already includes delivery, so the quantity is the only variable you control. For a driveway, the guide on how much gravel a driveway needs walks through the same math with worked examples.

Details on how delivery works, ordering questions, material calculators and the full product range are all published.
What happens when the truck reaches your Hobbs address
A dump truck brings the stone and leaves it in a pile at the spot you mark. Unloading takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The truck needs an access path at least 12 feet wide with no low branches or overhead wires, and the standard drop is the driveway or accessible ground beside it.
A back yard only works if a truck can reach it over clear, flat ground. Clear the area before the truck arrives, mark the exact dump spot with a cone or flag, and keep a phone reachable because the driver may call or text to confirm placement.
Other materials Hobbs jobs use with crushed stone
These are the materials people order alongside crushed stone in the same load.
- Driveway Gravel finishes a driveway surface over the crushed stone base.

Crushed stone questions from Hobbs buyers
What do properties in ZIP 88244 usually need to know before a delivery?
The ZIP covers about 0.05 square miles of land, so two addresses inside it can be far apart and the delivery address matters more than the ZIP does. The truck needs an access path at least 12 feet wide with no low branches or overhead wires. Clear the area and mark the dump spot before the truck arrives.
Does the soil around Hobbs change how deep this has to go?
Yes. The survey point near the centre of this ZIP falls in hydrologic group D, which takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in faster-draining ground. Judge drainage at the actual site rather than from the ZIP alone.
What size should I order?
Match the size to the job, not to a preference. Coarser stone such as 3/4 inch or #4 builds base and drains fast, while #89 and screenings bed pavers and fill joints. If you are between sizes, size the order with the calculator and describe the job when the team follows up.
What do the stone numbers mean?
The numbers are sieve sizes, not grades. #4 is roughly 1 to 2 inches, #57 is 3/4 to 1 inch, #8 is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch, and #89 is finer still. Bigger numbers are not better stone, they are smaller stone.
