Materials for Sandia Projects
Start with the base under your patio. A paver patio only works when the bedding layer is right. Flex Base, the local name for TxDOT Item 247 flex base, compacts into a firm, stable platform. Use it as the base course beneath pavers or flagstone. It holds up under foot traffic and stays put through heavy use.
For the bedding layer itself, stone screenings do the job. Spread them an inch or two thick, screed them smooth, and set your pavers directly on top. The fine, angular particles lock together and keep pavers from shifting. Use Stone Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding, or as a firm surface for a garden path.
On top of that, match the joint material to the look you want. Mason Sand sweeps into paver joints and locks the surface. For a washed, cleaner joint that resists weed growth, Natural Pea Gravel works in wider gaps and around stepping stones.
For larger flatwork, like a concrete patio or a slab, set your forms and pour over a compacted base of Crushed Limestone Base. The crushed edges interlock and carry the load without settling. Use 3/4" Crushed Stone as a drainage layer under the slab where water needs an escape route.
Ground and Conditions in Sandia
Sandia sits on expansive clay. That clay shrinks and swells with the season, and it moves whatever sits on top of it. A thin base will crack, settle, and shift within a year. The fix is depth and drainage.
Put down at least four inches of compacted Flex Base before any paver or slab. That layer spreads the load and absorbs the movement of the clay beneath it. Skimp on depth and you will be pulling up pavers to redo the job.
Water is the other enemy. Heavy downpours and flash flooding are part of life on the Gulf Coast. Rain that pools under your patio pushes up and destroys the surface. Grade the area away from the structure and add a drainage layer where water collects. #57 Limestone handles that job well, moving water away from the base and into a drain or ditch.
Work runs year round here. Wet spells, not cold, stop a base job. Plan around the rainy season and you can pour or lay pavers in any month. Frost is rarely a concern in most of Texas, so base failures come from water and clay movement, not freezing. Focus your effort on compaction and drainage and the job lasts.
Delivery to Sandia and the Surrounding Area
Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. For a patio, figure the square footage and the depth you need. A 10 by 12 foot patio at four inches deep takes about 1.5 yards of base material. When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction and leveling.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Sandia?
Flex Base is the standard choice for a driveway in Sandia. It compacts into a hard, stable surface that holds up under vehicle weight. Lay it at least four inches deep over the existing ground. For a finished top layer that is easier to walk on and drives smoothly, add a course of Driveway Gravel over the compacted base.
How much material will my project need?
Measure the length and width of your area in feet. Multiply those numbers by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A 10 by 20 foot area at three inches deep takes about 1.85 cubic yards. Use the calculator on the product page to double-check your figures before you order.
