River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Midway, FL

Start with the math. Figure your square footage, pick a depth, and convert to tons before you call anyone about gravel and aggregate delivery in Midway, FL. Florida Rock Supply sells limerock base, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk, so the quantity you work out is the quantity that shows up.

Ground here runs sandy over clayey subsoil, and that clay decides most of your drainage details.

Materials for Midway Projects

Drainage is where most jobs in this county go wrong, so start with washed stone. Rain on clayey ground runs off slopes and sits in low spots, and a French drain, drywell or downspout run only works if the stone around it has void space that water can actually move through.

Each stone size has its own job, and the coarse and fine ends of the range work very differently.

Coarse washed stone

Use #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage where water moves fast. Neither compacts into a surface, so keep them below the top layer.

Mid-size washed stone

Drain Rock is the workhorse for French drains, downspout runs and drainage around patios, pools and foundations. #57 Limestone does the same work at a size that also tops a driveway, and #67 Stone is the slightly smaller version for concrete work and tighter spots.

Fine washed stone

#8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone go into pipe bedding, paver joints and tight bedding where the larger sizes will not fit. Washed sizes drain; the graded-down mixes do not, so do not substitute one for the other.

Base and bedding

Under all of it, Limerock Base compacts hard over sand and carries the load on drives, pads and private roads. Bed pavers and flagstone on Stone Screenings, and use Washed Sand for leveling under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Midway

Clayey subsoil soaks water in slowly, so heavy rain runs off slopes and sits on flat or low ground. That is the whole reason a drainage layer matters more here than it does on deep peninsula sand. Put washed stone where water collects and give it somewhere to go.

Clay is also slow to dry. After a soaking front or a summer storm, ground that looked ready can hold moisture for days, and a base rolled in while it is still wet will not lock up the way you want. Time your delivery against the season rather than the calendar: winter fronts and summer thunderstorms both shut work down, and hurricane season runs June through November.

Bare slopes, road cuts, ditches and unpaved drives all wash clayey soil downhill in a heavy rain. Rip rap on a culvert outfall or a pond bank holds that edge before it cuts.
