Materials for Center Hill Projects

Storm runoff is the enemy. Coarse stone holds slopes, swales and banks in place. Work from the coarsest sizes down to the fines.

Start at the water. Rip rap, also called limestone rip rap, is the armor you set on an eroding bank or around a culvert outfall. Storm surge and heavy rain will not move it.

Behind the armor, drainage stone does the moving. #57 stone, known locally as 57 stone, feeds French drains and foundation drains. #4 crushed stone takes the harshest flow in trench bottoms and construction entrances.

Finishing layers go finer. Stone screenings, or limerock screenings, bed pavers and lock into a walkable surface. Crushed limestone fines compact hard, so paths stay put.

Build the drive from the bottom up. Limerock base is the standard Florida base rock. It is crushed limestone graded down to fines and compacts hard over sand. Cap it with Driveway Gravel.

Softer ground needs soil first. Top Soil builds up thin sandy ground before sod, and Fill Dirt raises low or wet spots before a base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Center Hill

Work runs year round in Sumter County. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms, winter cold fronts bring lighter rain, and hurricane season runs June through November. Time a delivery around the storms, not against them.

The ground decides your base depth. Sandy soils sit deep on the ridges and thin in the lowlands, with limestone close to the surface across much of the zone. Some higher ground carries clayey sand over the rock. Higher ground drains quickly through sand and porous limestone. Low flatwoods stay wet after heavy rain.

Bare sand washes into low spots after a downpour. Heavy rain or drought can also open a ground depression under a pad or drive. Compact each lift and crown the surface so water sheds.
