Buy Driveway Gravel in Plantation, FL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Plantation, FL by the ton or the yard. Florida Rock Supply stocks limerock base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock for driveways, pads and drainage work. Pick your material, set the quantity, and we bring it to the site. Ground here is thin sand and marl over limestone, so the base course does the heavy lifting.

Materials for Plantation Projects

Start with the base. Limerock base is the standard Florida base rock, a crushed limestone graded down to fines that compacts hard over sand. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and private roads. Moisture helps it lock up, so water it as you compact.

Top the base with driveway gravel where you want a finished driving surface. For a finer, more walkable surface on paths and garden walks, use walkway gravel instead.

Washed stone handles water. #57 stone, usually crushed limestone here, goes into French drains, foundation and pool drainage, and concrete work. Drain rock does the same job on downspout runs and around patios. #67 stone is a slightly smaller version for driveway topping and concrete.

Sand and soil finish the job. Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and leave a firm path surface. Mason sand suits brick and block work and paver joints. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs. Topsoil and garden soil rebuild thin sandy ground before sod or planting. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through the long growing season.

Ground and Conditions in Plantation

Water drives every decision here. The water table sits close to the surface, and much of Broward County depends on drainage canals. Summer downpours and tropical rain flood low lots and streets fast. Plan where the water goes before you pour stone.

That means a drainage layer, not just a base course. Set limerock base on ground that drains, and use #57 stone or drain rock where water needs to move. Skip the drainage and a pad turns to soup in a wet season.

Base depth responds to soft ground, not frost. Muck is soft and shrinks as it dries, so low or wet spots need fill dirt first, then compaction in lifts. Dried muck keeps settling and cracks what sits on it.

Timing matters. Work runs year round, but the wet season from mid-May to mid-October brings heavy afternoon storms and a higher water table. The winter dry season is the easiest window for grading and base work. Hurricane season runs June through November.
