Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Clearwater, FL

Florida Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Clearwater, FL, from limerock base to decorative river rock. This is the peninsula sand country: deep quartz sand over buried limestone, loose and fast-draining on the ridges and wet through the flatwoods flats. The material you put on top decides whether a drive or pad holds up.

Order by the ton or the yard, and we bring it to your site.

Materials for Clearwater Projects

Most jobs here start with a base, because sand alone will not carry a truck. Limerock base is the standard Florida base rock, crushed limestone graded down to fines that compacts hard over sand. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed and slab pads and private roads.

From there, pick the surface and the drainage stone to match the job.

Tighter drainage work leans on #57 stone and drain rock; a finer surface on a finished drive calls for #67 stone or driveway gravel over a compacted base. Walkways and beds take Natural Pea Gravel, walkway gravel or river rock.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Washed sand beds and levels, mason sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, and screened topsoil builds up thin sandy ground before sod. Garden soil fills raised beds, fill dirt raises low or wet ground, and shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through the long growing season.

Ground and Conditions in Clearwater

The water story drives base depth here. Inland ridge lots drain fast, so a compacted base of limerock goes down and sheds quickly. Flatwoods lots sit wet for part of the year, often over a hardpan, and drain slowly after summer downpours.

On those lots, dig the base deeper and add a drainage layer. #57 stone or drain rock under the surface moves water off the pad instead of letting it sit.

Work runs year round, but the rainy season from late spring into October brings afternoon storms that saturate pads and slow grading. Hurricane season runs June through November, and storm runoff is rough on bare sandy slopes. Rip rap armors pond, lake and canal banks and culvert outfalls against wave action, and large river rock or river rock handles dry creek beds and splash areas under roof drip lines. Shell rock works as a compacting sub-base under drives and pads where a limestone and shell mix is wanted.

Delivery to Clearwater and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck, so the drop is the part to plan. Pick a spot the truck can reach and back out of, and clear anything overhead. Have the delivery area marked so the dump truck drops the load where you plan to use it.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. Measure the area and the depth you need, and add a little for compaction on base material. A thin, even layer is a good working target for a topping course.

We deliver across Clearwater and Pinellas County, including St. Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, Pinellas Park and Dunedin.
