Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Century, FL

Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Century, FL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing a rutted lane. Limerock base is the material most of them start with. Under it sits the clayey subsoil common to this part of Escambia County, and that ground decides how deep the base needs to go.

Materials for Century Projects

Driveway work drives most jobs here. Limerock base is the standard Florida base rock, crushed limestone graded down to fines so it compacts hard over clay or sand. It carries a drive, a parking pad or a private road, and it is how most local work is specified.

Above the base, you have choices. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances. #57 Limestone is the drainage stone for French drains, foundation lines and concrete aggregate.

Not every job needs a full base course. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and make a firm walkable path. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and downspout drainage.

Yards, beds and low spots round out the list with Top Soil, Fill Dirt, Mason Sand and Shredded Mulch.

Ground and Conditions in Century

Clayey subsoil slows water soaking in. Heavy rain runs off slopes and sits on flat or low ground, and this part of Florida gets rain from winter cold fronts as well as summer thunderstorms. That is the whole reason base depth matters more here than in sand country.

For a drive, that means building up with limerock base in lifts and compacting each one. Going thin over wet clay lets the stone pump and rut. Where water has nowhere to go, a drainage layer of #57 stone or 3/4 inch crushed stone moves it away from the base.

Bare slopes and unpaved drives wash clay downhill after a storm, the same process that cut the ravines in this hill country. Rip rap on a pond bank or culvert outfall holds that bank in place, and mulch keeps beds from crusting over the long growing season.

Work runs year round, but clay is slow to dry after a heavy rain. Winter fronts and summer storms are the two stretches that stall a pour or a compacting pass, and hurricane season runs June through November.

Order online and pick your material and quantity by the ton or the yard. Bulk loads arrive by dump truck, so plan the drop before the truck reaches you.

Have the spot cleared and reachable. Mark any sprinkler heads, stakes or soft ground the driver should avoid, and pick a pad that can take the weight. A driver who can back straight in and dump clean saves you a shovel day.
