Gravel and Perimeter Solutions for Shared Spaces
Zia Concrete Services LLC delivers bulk gravel supply, re-leveling, and cinder block perimeter work for property managers and homeowners associations in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Common areas in managed properties take steady wear from foot traffic, vehicle use, and seasonal weather. Gravel surfaces along shared drive lanes and walking paths develop ruts and washouts after heavy rain, leaving uneven footing and standing water. Perimeter walls crack or settle when soil shifts beneath them, creating gaps that allow runoff to erode landscaping beds. Zia Concrete Services LLC provides bulk gravel delivery, refresh services, and cinder block perimeter installs to keep shared spaces level, accessible, and visually consistent across residential communities in Carlsbad.
We supply gravel in bulk quantities and place it where it is needed using equipment that minimizes disruption to occupied areas. Existing gravel surfaces are re-leveled by scraping, adding material where depth has worn thin, and compacting the top layer to restore a smooth finish. Cinder block perimeter walls are built to define property boundaries, separate common areas from private lots, or hold back soil along sloped sections. Each installation is scheduled around resident activity and coordinated with other site work to avoid access conflicts.

What the Process Looks Like at Your Property
We start by inspecting the gravel areas or wall locations at your property in Carlsbad to assess wear patterns, drainage issues, and material needs. For gravel refresh projects, we remove debris, rake out uneven sections, and add new material to bring the surface back to the correct grade. A plate compactor or roller is used to pack the gravel firmly, creating a stable surface that resists rutting under normal use.
After the work is complete, you will see level gravel surfaces that drain properly and feel firm underfoot. Pathways and drive lanes no longer collect water or develop soft spots where vehicles sink. Perimeter walls sit plumb and level, with uniform joints and a clean finished appearance that matches the rest of the property. The gravel requires no watering, mowing, or chemical treatment, making it a low-maintenance option for long-term ground cover.
Most gravel refresh jobs are completed in one to two days depending on area size and access. Bulk deliveries are staged to minimize truck traffic during peak resident hours. Perimeter wall installations may take longer if footings need time to cure or if the wall runs along multiple property lines. We coordinate scheduling with property managers to limit noise and equipment presence near occupied units.
We know you need clear answers before scheduling
Property managers and HOA boards in Carlsbad often ask about scheduling flexibility, material longevity, and how gravel holds up under regular use. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often before starting work on managed properties.
How often does gravel in common areas need to be refreshed?
High-traffic areas such as drive lanes and pathways typically need re-leveling every two to three years depending on use and weather. Low-traffic zones may last five years or longer before requiring additional material.
What is the best gravel type for a shared parking area?
Crushed limestone or decomposed granite works well for parking areas because it compacts tightly and resists displacement under tires. We recommend a base layer of coarse rock topped with a binding layer that locks the surface together.
How do you schedule work around occupied residential units?
We coordinate start times and equipment placement with property managers to avoid early mornings, weekends, or high-traffic periods. Most gravel and wall work can be staged in sections to keep pathways and access points open during the project.
How tall should a perimeter wall be to separate common areas?
Most HOA perimeter walls range from three to four feet in height to clearly mark boundaries without obstructing sight lines. Taller walls may be built along property edges or roadways if additional privacy or noise reduction is needed.
What happens if gravel shifts after heavy rain?
Properly graded and compacted gravel should resist shifting even during monsoon season. If low spots develop, we can return to add material and regrade the affected section to restore proper drainage and surface level.
Zia Concrete Services LLC works with property managers and HOAs throughout Carlsbad to maintain gravel surfaces and install perimeter walls that meet community standards and hold up under regular use.
