Materials for Oldsmar Projects

Most driveways here start with limerock base, compacted in lifts to a firm, even layer. It is also called limerock, and it is the standard Florida base rock for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and private roads. It firms up after watering and rolling, so it takes traffic without rutting out.

Limerock base is what contractors here specify for a base course. If you want a compacting mix of limestone and shell, shell rock is the other option for drives, pads and secondary roads.

Once the base is compacted, you top it. Here is what the rest of the list does:

• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drive surfacing, drainage beds and construction entrances.
• #57 Limestone, also called #57 stone, for French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, and concrete aggregate.
• Driveway Gravel for topping an existing drive or surfacing over a compacted base.
• Stone Screenings, or limestone screenings, for paver and flagstone bedding and a firm walkable path.
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep, and for building up thin sandy ground before sod.

Ground and Conditions in Oldsmar

Water is the whole story on a base job here. The ground under Oldsmar is deep quartz sand, and the flat lots hold flatwoods sand that sits wet for part of the year, often over a hardpan layer. After a summer downpour, those lots drain slowly.

Ridge sand is the opposite problem. It drains fast, so a thin base over loose sand can pump and shift under tires. Either way, excavate deep enough, compact in lifts, and crown the surface so water runs off instead of sitting.

Where the pad stays wet, a drainage layer of #57 stone or drain rock under or beside the base keeps it working. French drains and downspout runs carry that water away from the slab.

Work runs year round here, but the rainy season brings afternoon storms that saturate pads and slow grading. Hurricane season runs June through November, so plan around the wet months.

Delivery to Oldsmar and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you want it. Have the drop spot clear, firm and reachable, and keep it away from low spots that will not take the weight. Mark any sprinkler heads or utility stubs first.

Order online by the ton or the yard. Figure your volume from length, width and compacted depth, then add a little for compaction and spillage. Limerock base loses thickness once it is rolled, so order for the finished depth.

We deliver across Oldsmar and the rest of Pinellas County, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Palm Harbor and Pinellas Park.
