Bulk Material Delivery in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fort Lauderdale, FL, for driveways, drainage and site work. Limerock base is the standard here: crushed limestone graded down to fines that compacts hard over sand. With the water table close to the surface and summer storms dumping rain fast, most jobs need a drainage layer under the base.

Washed stone does that work, and sand and soil finish the job.

Materials for Fort Lauderdale Projects

Drainage drives most material choices in this city. Water has to move somewhere, and a compacted base alone will hold it against your slab or driveway edge. Coarse washed stone gives it a path out.

Coarse stone for drainage

RipRap is the heaviest option. It armors canal banks, pond edges and culvert outfalls against wave action and storm runoff.

#4 Crushed Stone suits heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms where you need open voids that will not clog.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the workhorse for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances. It is the size most French drain specs call for around here.

#57 Limestone goes into French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, and driveway topping. #67 Stone does the same work at a slightly smaller size.

Fine stone and bedding

3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base. #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone are smaller washed stone for tight bedding and paver joints.

Stone Screenings are crushed limestone fines. Use them for paver and flagstone bedding and a firm, walkable path surface. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and drainage around downspouts.

Base, soil and sand

Limerock Base is your pad and driveway base course, laid over a drainage layer. Fill Dirt raises low or wet ground before that base goes down.

Top Soil and Garden Soil handle lawn and bed prep where native sand holds little water or nutrients. Mason Sand is for block work and paver joints, and Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Fort Lauderdale

Soil here is thin and sandy or marly over limestone that sits at or near the surface along the coastal ridge. That shallow rock limits how deep you can dig a drain trench, so plan the outlet before you plan the depth.

Because the water table sits close to the surface and the land depends on drainage canals, summer downpours and tropical rain flood low lots and streets quickly. A French drain or drywell needs washed stone, not a mix with fines that will seal up when it stays wet.

Storm surge and wave action work on canal banks and shorelines, and runoff scours bare sand where it concentrates. Armor those edges with rip rap and keep bare ground covered.

Timing a delivery

Work runs year round. The wet season, roughly mid-May to mid-October, brings heavy afternoon storms and a higher water table. The winter dry season is usually the easiest time for grading and base work. Hurricane season runs June through November, so keep an eye on the forecast before you schedule a pour or a base course.

Delivery to Fort Lauderdale and the Surrounding Area

Florida Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Broward County. Along with Fort Lauderdale, we run loads to Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach and Plantation.

Order online and pick your material. Bulk stone, sand and soil are sold by the ton, so you will need a rough square footage and depth to work out how much you need. A shallow layer is a good starting point for a top dressing; a base course usually runs deeper.

Delivery goes to the site, not the curb, where access allows. Tell us about gates, low branches, soft ground or tight turns when you order, because a loaded truck needs room to get in and out. Lead time varies with the material and the season, so book ahead when a pour date is fixed.
