Materials for Marco Island Projects

Most work on Marco Island starts with a base and ends with a surface. Build the base right and the drive, pad or path holds up through the wet season.

Base and Driveway Surfacing

Limerock base is the standard Florida base rock. It is crushed limestone graded down to fines, and it compacts hard over sand. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed slabs and private roads.

Shell rock is the other Southwest Florida favorite. It is a compacting mix of limestone and shell, and it goes down as sub-base under drives, pads and secondary roads. Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel or use it to surface an existing drive. For paths that need a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is the pick.

Washed Stone for Drainage

Washed stone carries water instead of holding it. #57 Limestone is the workhorse: French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, driveway topping and concrete aggregate. #67 Stone does the same jobs at a slightly smaller size. Drain Rock handles French drains, downspout runs and drainage around patios and pools. In tight spots, #89 Crushed Stone fits joints and tight bedding.

Sand, Soil and Decorative Stone

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs. Mason sand sets brick and block work and fills paver joints. Limestone screenings set pavers and flagstone and make a firm walkable path. Topsoil builds up thin sandy ground before sod, and garden soil feeds raised beds. For borders, beds and dry creek beds, river rock and large river rock hold their place when runoff moves.

Ground and Conditions in Marco Island

Start with where the water goes. The water table sits close to the surface across South Florida, and much of the land depends on drainage canals. Summer downpours and tropical rain flood low lots and streets, so a base that holds water is a base that fails.

Under that water is thin sandy or marly soil over limestone that sits at or near the surface. Sand drains fast but shifts, and muck is soft and shrinks as it dries out. Build your base depth for a compacted, draining layer, not for frost. Frost is not the story here; soft ground and standing water are.

Plan for the season. Work runs year round, but the wet season from mid-May to mid-October brings heavy afternoon storms and a higher water table. Winter is usually the easiest time for grading and base work. Hurricane season runs June through November, and storm surge and wave action work on canal banks, shorelines and culvert outfalls. Rip rap armors those banks, and rip rap is specified for that job.

Delivery to Marco Island and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped on site, so have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck pulls in. Mark any sprinkler heads, drains or soft edges you want left alone.

Tell us where the pile should land. A drive, a side yard or a pad all work if the truck can get in and out. We deliver across Marco Island and the rest of Collier County, including Immokalee, Naples and Ochopee. Size the load to the job: base, then stone, then sand or soil.
