Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Oxford, FL

Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Oxford, FL, with limerock base leading the list. Limerock is the crushed limestone graded down to fines that sets up hard over sand, and it is what most driveways and pads here start with. We also stock washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock, all sold in bulk and priced by the ton.

Materials for Oxford Projects

Driveways and pads are the bulk of what leaves for Oxford, so start with the base course and work up. Limerock base compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer for drives, parking pads, shed slabs and private roads.

Once the base is compacted, you pick a surface. Driveway gravel tops an existing drive or caps fresh limerock, and #57 stone and #67 stone both work as a loose topping with enough void space to shed water. Drainage and bedding materials round out most orders.

Here are the materials ordered most often for work in and around Oxford.

For a softer look, River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel cover decorative beds, borders and walkways. Screened topsoil and garden soil rebuild thin sandy ground before sod or planting, and shredded mulch holds moisture through the long growing season.

Ground and Conditions in Oxford

Oxford sits in Sumter County, in Florida's limestone country. Sand lies deep on the ridges and thin in the lowlands, and limestone sits at or close to the surface across much of the area. Some higher ground carries clayey sand over the rock instead.

That ground decides how water moves. On higher ground, rain drains fast through sand and porous limestone, often into sinkholes rather than streams. Low flatwoods and swamps stay wet long after a heavy downpour. Both cases push you toward the same fix: a properly compacted limerock base with a drainage layer that gives water somewhere to go.

Summer afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane season from June through November are the real test. Bare sand washes off graded ground into low spots, and standing water under a pad undermines it. Build the base thick enough and crown the drive so runoff leaves the surface. A Drain Rock or #57 stone layer beside a slab keeps the fill under it from staying saturated. Work runs year round here, so there is no frozen season to plan around.

Delivery to Oxford and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material by the ton or the cubic yard. Bulk loads arrive by dump truck and are tipped on site, so mark the drop area before the truck shows up and keep overhead lines and parked vehicles clear.

Have the ground firm enough to carry a loaded truck, and gate widths checked ahead of time. We deliver across Sumter County, including The Villages, Wildwood, Lake Panasoffkee, Bushnell and Webster.

Measure your area and depth before you order. A long driveway on a compacted base takes a large load of limerock base, so enter the length, width and depth in the calculator. Round up a little, since compaction pulls the finished depth down.
