Buy Fill Dirt in Lee, FL

Planning a pad, a lawn or a driveway in Lee? Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lee, FL, and most grading jobs here start with fill dirt and topsoil before a yard of limerock base ever lands. This is clay hill country, so what you put under the surface decides how the surface holds up.

If you are building up low ground or prepping beds, order the soil first and the stone second. That order saves you a rework.

Materials for Lee Projects

Grading and bed prep drive most jobs in this market. You raise the pad, shape the slope, then cap it with the right stone or soil. Here is how the main families break down.

Soil and fill. Fill Dirt raises low or wet ground, fills holes and builds up a pad before any base course goes down. Top Soil covers that pad for lawn and bed prep, and it builds up thin sandy ground before sod. Garden Soil goes in raised beds and planting areas where native sand holds little water or nutrients. Shredded Mulch finishes beds and tree rings and holds moisture through the long growing season.

Base and driveways. Limerock base, also called limerock, compacts hard over clay and sand. It is the standard for driveways, parking pads, shed and slab pads and private roads. Limerock Base is what most Lee drives get.

Washed stone. #57 Limestone handles French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, and driveway topping. Drain Rock and #67 Stone do the same work at slightly different sizes.

Sand. Mason Sand beds brick and block, fills paver joints and works as play sand. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.

Decorative. River Rock covers beds and borders and takes the splash under roof drip lines. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Lee

Start with the water, because that is what sets your base depth. Clayey subsoil slows rain soaking in, so heavy falls run off slopes and sit on flat or low ground. You get fronts in winter and thunderstorms in summer, so plan for both.

On grade, that means more fall away from the pad than you would use on peninsula sand, and a stone drainage layer where water has nowhere to go. Limerock base compacts well over this ground, but it needs a dry, shaped subgrade first. Clay is slow to dry after a heavy rain, so surfacing wet ground just traps the moisture under your stone.

Bare slopes, road cuts, ditches and unpaved drives wash clayey soil downhill fast in a storm. Catch that water with drainage stone and rip rap at outfalls instead of letting it cut a gully through your pad.

Delivery to Lee and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you want it. Have the pad or drive clear, mark any sprinkler lines, and pick a spot the truck can reach and pull out of. On a soft clay shoulder after rain, that spot matters more than usual.

Order online by the ton or the yard and size the load with the calculator. Lee sits in Madison County, and we cover Madison, Greenville and Pinetta on the same run, so a load for a job out that way is no problem.

Questions from Lee Buyers

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Lee?

Yes. Order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever you measured in. Use the calculator on the product page to turn your length, width and depth into a quantity, and remember depth is a real number you control. A driveway base often wants a minimum depth of several inches, while a decorative bed takes far less. Put the tonnage in, pick a delivery window, and the truck brings it to your site.

What stone should I use for drainage in Lee?

It depends where the water goes. For French drains, downspout runs and drainage around foundations and pools, #57 stone or drain rock is the usual pick. #67 stone works at a slightly smaller size, and 3/4 inch crushed stone suits larger drainage beds. On ground this clayey, size the stone to the pipe and slope the trench so water actually leaves the pad.
