Washed Sand Delivery for Pembroke Pines, FL

Water is the problem here. The water table sits close to the surface, and summer storms flood low lots fast. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Pembroke Pines, FL starts with drainage and a base that drains. Florida Rock Supply stocks limerock base, the standard Florida base rock, plus fill and drainage stone for pads that stay put.

Order by the ton, pick your delivery, and build on ground that holds up.

Materials for Pembroke Pines Projects

Most jobs here start below grade. Raise the pad, compact a base, then surface. These are the materials that do that work.

• Fill Dirt: raises low or wet ground and builds up pads before any base course goes down.
• Limerock Base: the standard Florida base, crushed limestone graded down to fines that compacts hard over sand.
• Driveway Gravel: surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.
• #57 Limestone: French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, and driveway topping.
• Top Soil: builds up thin sandy ground before sod or planting.

Shell rock works as sub-base under drives and pads where you want a compacting mix of limestone and shell. Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Pembroke Pines

Thin sandy or marly soil sits over limestone that is at or near the surface along the coastal ridge. That shallow rock is good news for a base. It is bad news for drainage, because water has nowhere to go when the table rises.

Do not surface straight onto sand. Strip the organic layer, raise grade with fill, then compact limerock base in lifts. A base that was never compacted in lifts will rut the first wet season.

Work runs year round. The wet season, roughly mid-May to mid-October, brings heavy afternoon storms and a higher water table. The winter dry season is usually the easiest time for grading and base work. Hurricane season runs June through November, so plan drainage before it arrives.

Where ground stays soft, put a drainage layer of #57 stone or drain rock under the base and daylight it to a swale or a canal. Riprap armors pond, lake and canal banks against wave action and storm runoff.

Order online and pick your quantity. Bulk stone and fill sell by the ton, sand and soil by the ton or the yard. Figure your area and depth first, then round up a little. Spreading loses material to soft spots and edges.

Bulk delivery drops loose material at the address you give us. Point us to where the pile should land. A driveway or pad pour is easier when the pile sits close to the work and off the road.

We deliver across Broward County, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach and Plantation.

Questions from Pembroke Pines Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Pembroke Pines?

Limerock base. It is crushed limestone graded down to fines, so it compacts hard over the sand and shallow rock here. Spread it in lifts and compact each one, then bed the pavers on limestone screenings. Skip the compaction and the pavers will settle after the first wet season.

Do you supply contractors working in Pembroke Pines?

Yes. Builders, pavers, landscapers and drainage crews order bulk stone, fill and sand for Pembroke Pines sites. Order online, list the tonnage you need, and schedule delivery to the site. Repeat orders for the same material stay simple, which helps when a job runs over several phases.
