Open a product to see your delivered price for 88011.
Crushed stone is a natural product, and its color, shade, texture and sizing vary with what is locally available. That matters when you are matching an existing driveway, patio or bed. A load that looks right in a photo may read a shade lighter or darker against stone that has been down for years.
American Rock Supply delivers crushed stone to Las Cruces addresses through a network of local suppliers. You pick the size, enter the delivery ZIP and choose a date. The truck brings the pile to the spot you mark.
Crushed stone sizes delivered in Las Cruces
Every product below is crushed stone. What separates them is the size of the individual pieces and how those pieces lock together under load. Smaller stone beds pipe and pavers; larger stone carries a driveway or fills a gabion. Read the sieve range before you pick.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | Driveway and road base, construction foundations, drainage, wall backfill | The standard base stone for most residential driveway and foundation work. |
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Walkways and patio surfaces, driveway top dressing, pipe bedding | A finer surface stone that sits well over a compacted base. |
| #57 Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, wall backfill, driveway surfaces | Open-graded stone that drains freely and locks under traffic. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete aggregate, drainage and infiltration, pipe bedding | Slightly finer than #57, useful where a tighter matrix is wanted. |
| #89 Crushed Stone | Paver and flagstone joints, chip seal, concrete mixes, walkway bedding | Fine stone for joints and bedding where larger pieces will not fit. |
| #8 Crushed Stone | Permeable paver base and joints, drainage layers, concrete aggregate | Small, uniform stone for permeable systems and drainage layers. |
| #4 Crushed Stone | Heavy-duty base, erosion control, high-volume drainage, gabion fill | The largest stone here, for structural fill and heavy drainage. |
| Stone Screenings | Paver and flagstone bedding, base leveling, joint filling, compacted paths | Fine screenings that compact into a firm, level bedding layer. |
How deep to go, job by job, in Las Cruces
Homeowner jobs come first, then trade work. The depth column is a starting point for landscaping and drainage, not a specification for anything engineered. Playground surfacing, septic fields and retaining structures need their own design.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Bedding a pipe run | #67 Stone or 3/8" Crushed Stone | Bed the pipe, then cover with the same stone before backfill. |
| A French drain | #57 Stone | Fill the trench with stone around the pipe; keep fines out of the stone. |
| A driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Build the base in lifts and compact each lift before the next. |
| A concrete pour | #57 Stone or #67 Stone | Order the size your mix calls for; do not substitute a finer stone. |
| A paver patio build-up | #8 Crushed Stone and Stone Screenings | Open-graded base below, screenings for the bedding layer above. |
What ZIP 88011 changes about a crushed stone order
The survey point near the centre of this ZIP falls in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That behavior makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in places where water soaks in. Judge drainage at your actual site, not from the ZIP alone.
Las Cruces gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, and about 23 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch. Schedule the delivery onto firm ground, and plan the base so water has somewhere to go. About 73 days a year drop below 32F, which sets the work window and how much the ground moves under a loose surface.
Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer is set by traffic and drainage rather than by frost. The limiting factor here is rain on bare ground, not frost. ZIP 88011 covers about 251.66 square miles of land, so two addresses in this ZIP can be far apart and the delivery address matters more than the ZIP does.
Working out how much crushed stone Las Cruces jobs take
Measure the area, decide the depth, and let the numbers do the rest. The crushed stone calculator takes your length, width and depth and returns the quantity to order. For a driveway, the guide on how much gravel a driveway needs walks through the same math with worked examples.
Bulk crushed stone arrives as a truck load, not as bags, and the price shown at checkout already includes delivery. That is why the quantity matters: one load that covers the job is the goal, and a second order for a shortfall costs you another delivery window.
How a crushed stone order to Las Cruces is placed
American Rock Supply matches each order to a local supplier in its network, which is why coverage reaches rural addresses as well as city ones. The steps are short.
- Choose the crushed stone size and the quantity you need, using the calculator if you want a check.
- Enter the delivery ZIP code and pick a date at least two business days out, on a weekday.
- Order online; an email confirmation arrives immediately and the team follows up to confirm the date.
Questions about how delivery works or ordering questions are answered on those pages. The material calculators and the full product range are there when you want to compare sizes.
What happens when the truck reaches your Las Cruces address
A dump truck brings the crushed 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. 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. If the site cannot be reached safely, the driver unloads as close as possible.
Other materials Las Cruces jobs use with crushed stone
Think of the layer below and the layer above. What the stone sits on and what goes over it both change how the finished surface performs.
- Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface over a crushed stone base.
- Drainage Rock where a French drain or dry well needs open-graded stone.
- Sand for bedding and leveling under pavers and flagstone.
Crushed stone questions from Las Cruces buyers
What affects how much crushed stone a job in Las Cruces takes?
Area, depth and how much the stone compacts under traffic. Las Cruces gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning can push the base deeper than the surface alone suggests. Measure the actual footprint and use the calculator before you order.
Does the soil around Las Cruces change how deep this has to go?
It can. The survey point near the centre of this ZIP falls in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That behavior makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here, but judge drainage at your actual site.
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.
What size should I order?
Match the size to the job. 3/4" Crushed Stone for a driveway base, #57 Stone for a French drain or concrete aggregate, #8 Crushed Stone and Stone Screenings for a paver patio build-up. If you are matching existing stone, order a small amount first and compare.
