Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Sebastian, FL

Planning a driveway, a parking pad, or a drainage run? Gravel and aggregate delivery in Sebastian, FL starts with the right base, and here that base is limerock base. It is crushed limestone graded down to fines, and it compacts hard over our deep quartz sand. Florida Rock Supply delivers it across Indian River County, along with the washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock the rest of the job needs.

Materials for Sebastian Projects

Most jobs here start with a base course and finish with a surface. Limerock base, also called lime rock, is the standard Florida base rock. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and slab pads and private roads, and it locks up tight once it is watered and rolled.

On top of that base, you have choices. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. #57 stone handles French drains, drainage around foundations and pools, and driveway topping. Stone screenings are crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and leave a firm, walkable path. Natural Pea Gravel fills walkways, play areas, borders and the splash zone under downspouts.

Wet lots and low spots need a different set of materials. Fill dirt raises low or wet ground and builds up a pad before a base course goes down. Shell rock, a compacting mix of limestone and shell, works as a sub-base under drives and secondary roads. Riprap armors pond, lake and canal banks and culvert outfalls against wave action and storm runoff.

Sand and soil round out the list. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints, and topsoil rebuilds thin sandy ground before sod or planting. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through the long growing season.

Ground and Conditions in Sebastian

Sebastian sits in the Peninsula sand ridges, flatwoods and coast zone, and the ground tells you where your water is going to go. The inland ridges are deep quartz sand, loose and fast-draining. The flatwoods sand on the broad flats sits wet for part of the year, often over a hardpan layer that stops water from moving down.

That hardpan is why flat lots here pond after a summer downpour or a tropical system. If your lot holds water, do not just dump base on top of it. Excavate down to firm ground, put a drainage layer of #57 stone or drain rock in the low spots, and build the limerock base back up in lifts. A solid layer of compacted base is a reasonable starting point for a residential drive, and wet ground calls for a thicker one.

Ridge lots have the opposite problem. Fast-draining sand means a thin base can pump and rut under truck traffic, so compact in lifts and water as you go. On the coast, dune erosion and storm surge drive riprap and large river rock work along shorelines and outfalls.

Work runs year round here. The summer rainy season, roughly late spring into October, brings afternoon storms that saturate pads and slow grading, and hurricane season runs June through November. Build your schedule around that window and keep bare sandy slopes covered.

Delivery to Sebastian and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your material by the ton or the cubic yard. If you are not sure which figure you need, measure the area and the depth you want, and the site will size the load for you. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped on site.

Have the drop spot ready before the truck rolls. Pick a firm, level place close to the work, clear of overhead lines, low branches and parked cars, and tell us if the driver needs to back in. A full load is heavy, and soft sand or a wet flat will not hold it.

We deliver throughout Sebastian and Indian River County, including Vero Beach and Fellsmere. If you are staging a job across the county, put the material where the crew is working that week and keep the haul short.
