Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Immokalee, FL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Immokalee, FL online. Florida Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard, then delivers it to your site. Start with limerock base, the crushed limestone graded down to fines that compacts hard. Thin sandy soil over limestone sits close to the surface here, so the base you set decides whether the patio stays flat.

Materials for Immokalee Projects

In Immokalee, what sits under a paver patio decides how long it stays flat. Bed the pavers, compact the base, and the surface holds through the wet season. Skip a step and the joints open.

Start with Limerock Base. Spread it, wet it, compact it in lifts. It sets up hard over sand.

Bed the pavers on Stone Screenings, also called limestone screenings. Florida screenings are crushed limestone fines. They screed flat, lock the pavers, and sweep into the joints.

Use Washed Sand where you need a leveling layer under a slab or bedding under a wall. It drains and it will not hold water against the concrete.

Run drainage before you pour or lay anything. Drain Rock handles French drains, downspout runs, and drainage around patios, pools and foundations. For concrete aggregate and driveway topping at a slightly smaller size than #57, add #67 Stone. For a finer surface over a compacted base, 3/8" Crushed Stone is the topping.

Ground and Conditions in Immokalee

The failure shows up in the base first. A patio laid on a thin base settles, rocks, and drops at the corners. The pavers move, the joints open, and water finds the low spots.

Blame the ground. This is South Florida limestone, marl and muck country, with thin sandy or marly soil over limestone near the surface. Muck is soft and shrinks as it dries. On top of that, the water table sits close to the surface, and summer downpours flood low lots and streets.

Fix it with depth and drainage. Excavate until you hit firm material, then build the limerock base in compacted lifts to the depth your load needs. Add a drainage layer and grade away from the patio so runoff has somewhere to go. The dry season, winter through early spring, is the easiest window for grading and base work. Work runs year round, but the wet season from mid-May to mid-October brings heavy afternoon storms and a higher water table, and hurricane season runs June through November.

Delivery to Immokalee and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your unit. Sold by the ton, material is weighed. Sold by the yard, you buy volume. Know which one your quote uses before you compare.

Estimate quantity from length times width times depth, then convert. Bulk delivery drops the load where the truck can reach, so flag the spot before it arrives. Florida Rock Supply serves Immokalee in Collier County, plus Naples, Marco Island and Ochopee. The order form asks for the material, the quantity and the drop location. That is the whole process.

Questions About Patio and Driveway Material

What gravel is best for a driveway in Immokalee?

Start with limerock base. It is crushed limestone graded down to fines and compacts hard over sand, which suits thin sandy ground and a high water table. Top it with #57 stone or driveway gravel for a cleaner surface. Build the base in lifts, keep it to a solid compacted depth for a passenger vehicle, and grade water away from the drive.

How much material will my project need?

Measure length, width and depth in feet, multiply for cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's weight. A compacted lift changes the figure, so account for compaction. Use the calculator on the product page and order slightly over rather than short. Bulk delivery arrives by the ton or the yard.

Size Your Patio Order
