Buy #67 Stone in Okeechobee, FL

Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Okeechobee, FL for two kinds of buyers: crews building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing a washout on a weekend. Limerock base is the workhorse here, and #67 stone is what most people want on top of it. Deep quartz sand sits under most lots, so the base has to carry the load.

Order online, size your load by the ton or yard, and we bring it to the site.

Materials for Okeechobee Projects

Most work here starts with a base course and finishes with a smaller stone on top. That order matters on sandy ground, because a loose surface stone alone will sink and rut.

• Limerock Base: the standard Florida base rock, crushed limestone graded down to fines. It compacts hard over sand and carries driveways, parking pads, shed and slab pads and private roads.
• #67 Stone: driveway topping, drainage and concrete work at a slightly smaller size than #57. Good where you want a firm surface that still drains.
• #57 Limestone: French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, and concrete aggregate. In Florida it is usually crushed limestone.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base without rebuilding the whole section.
• Stone Screenings: paver and flagstone bedding, plus a firm, walkable path surface.

For a drive, plan on limerock base compacted in lifts, then #67 stone as the wearing surface. If drainage is the goal instead, #57 stone or Drain Rock moves water away from a foundation or pool deck. Around beds and walkways, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives you a surface people can walk on barefoot.

Ground and Conditions in Okeechobee

Water is the driver on almost every job here. Summer storms run from late spring into October and soak pads, and hurricane season runs June through November. Flat lots in the flatwoods sit wet for part of the year, often over a hardpan layer that stops water from draining down.

That changes how you build. On a flat lot, a compacted limerock base needs to sit above the wet layer, not in it, or it will pump and lose its shape. Where the hardpan holds water, a drainage layer of #57 stone or drain rock under the edges gives it somewhere to go.

Ridge sand is the opposite problem. It drains fast and stays loose, so it needs moisture and compaction to lock up, and it will not hold a slope without a base course over it. Bare sandy slopes wash out after tropical downpours, which is where rip rap and river rock earn their place on pond, canal and shoreline banks.

Work runs year round. Grading and compaction simply go better in the drier stretches, so many crews schedule base work around the afternoon storms.
