MEsa Sand & Gravel
FAq guide

How much gravel do I need for my driveway?
Great question, we can come out and do the measurement (free of charge) and discuss your preferences, desired outcome, and material options. If you have the measurements, we can calculate how much material you will need based on the type of material you would like.
Do you deliver gravel and sand?
Yes, we do deliver both gravel and sand. We have a 5-ton minimum, but we can give you a reference for someone that delivers material under that amount.
What is the cost of gravel per ton?
The cost varies based on the selected material. Give us a call at the Scale House(505-485-0035) and we will be glad to answer your questions.
What is the best kind of gravel for a driveway?
There are a couple of different options to choose from. We recommend that if the driveway is virgin ground, it is best to place Road Base before placing gravel on the driveway. We have a standard driveway gravel that is ¾” Crushed Rock. We also highly recommend a 3/8” Crushed Rock, which will lay smoother and provide an easier surface to walk on.
Can I use sand for my paver base?
Absolutely. Masonry Sand and Crusher Fines are both great products to choose from, and both work great for this type of job.
How fast can you deliver gravel?
In a lot of cases, we are able to deliver on the same day the order is placed, depending on our schedule and the delivery location. If the delivery location is further out of city limits in the tri-city area, then we usually schedule the delivery. If we have availability, we may still be able to deliver on the same day, but we prefer to schedule the delivery so we can secure that time to meet your needs.
What types of sand do you sell?
We sell a variety of sand. We have a bedding sand, which is #4 Sand that can be used for pipe bedding, horse stalls and even gardening. Masonry Sand, which is used for pavers and stucco. It is a beachy type of sand. We have seen customers use it around ponds, for landscaping, and sand boxes as well. We also have Concrete Sand, which is a very course sand that is used in ready-mix.
Do you sell bulk gravel and sand?
Yes. We have provided large amounts of material for various industries and projects. We have a wide variety of materials and also offer delivery.
Can I pick up gravel myself?
Yes, we will load pickups and trailers.
How much sand do I need for a sand box?
This depends on the size of the sand box. Give us a call and we can help with that.
What’s the difference between pea gravel and crushed stone?
Pea gravel is a small 3/8” sized material. It can be either crushed or round depending on what you are doing with it; this is where the difference lies.
Do you supply gravel for French drain?
We carry 1 ½” Crushed Rock as well as 3” Crushed Rock. Both materials work great for French Drains.
Is gravel better than mulch for landscaping?
Gravel is more suitable than mulch in certain areas but ultimately it comes down to the type of landscaping that is being done, and personal preference.
How do I calculate gravel for a project?
It ’s fairly easy if you follow these steps:
(Length X Width) X Depth = Square Feet
Square Feet Divided By 27 = Cubic Yards
Cubic Yards X 1.5= To n s
Do you offer sand for septic systems?
Yes, we carry Natural Fines or #4 Sand. Both are great materials to use. If you are using sand on the bottom, #4 Sand would be the way to go. If it is to cover the infiltrators,then Natural Fines would work the best.

Customer Feedback on Our Services
TESTIMONIALS
We couldn't be more pleased with the price and service! After ordering 13 tons of gravel, we realized we needed more, and they delivered additional gravel the very same day! Our house is near a power line, but the driver skillfully navigated into our back driveway, avoiding any congestion in the alley. Highly recommend this service!

Gilbert did an incredible job of spreading a 13 ton load. He made three sweeps and every hole is filled in. The driveway is level. The mound at the gates is perfect as there is a hole there as well. GREAT JOB Gilbert!!!!! Very little trim work left. The small mound is manageable and can be used for fill in. The price was surprisingly low. I'm thrilled!!

Mesa Gravel delivered large cobble for our landscaping needs. They delivered on time and were both professional and courteous. The driver was able to dump the rocks where we requsted. He also explained the different sizes of rock they carried. We will definitely be calling them in the future!

They show up when they say they will. That's worth gold in my book since a lot of people these days could care less about being on time. I'll call these guys again for sure.
