Buy #67 Stone in Starke, FL

Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Starke, FL, with limerock base leading the list. That is the crushed limestone graded down to fines most drives here are built on. It compacts hard over the deep quartz sand that runs through this part of North Central Florida, so a properly built drive stays put instead of pumping and rutting.

Order by the ton and we drop the load where you need it, from a single driveway refresh to a full pad build.

Materials for Starke Projects

Most jobs in Starke start with the base course and work up. Limerock base, also called limerock or lime rock, is the standard Florida base rock and the material to order first for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and private roads. Spread it, wet it and compact it in lifts and it sets up like a low-grade concrete over sand.

On top of that base, the washed stone does the drainage and finish work. #67 Stone is the go-to driveway topping, a little smaller than #57 and easy to grade smooth. #57 Limestone handles French drains, drainage around foundations and pool decks, and concrete aggregate. For tight spots, #89 Crushed Stone fills paver joints and fine bedding.

Sand and soil round out the order. Mason Sand beds brick and block and sweeps into paver joints, while Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Where the ground is thin and sandy, Top Soil builds it up before sod or planting. Shell rock, which is a compacting mix of limestone and shell, works as a sub-base under drives and secondary roads.

Ground and Conditions in Starke

Water is the driver here. A high water table in the flatwoods, plus a hardpan layer in many of those soils, leaves flat lots slow to drain after summer downpours and tropical rain. Ridge sands drain fast, but the flats hold water and stay soft.

That changes how you build a base. On wet, flat ground, excavate down to something firm, then bring in clean fill dirt if you need to raise the pad before any base course goes down. Limerock base then goes in compacted lifts. On a slow-draining lot, plan a drainage layer of #57 stone or drain rock so water has somewhere to go instead of sitting under the drive.

Work runs year round in Bradford County. 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 in the dry stretch if you can, and crown the finished drive so storm runoff sheds off the surface.

Delivery to Starke and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by the truckload and gets dumped as close to the work as the truck can safely reach. Have the drop spot cleared and marked before the load shows up. A firm, level, open area keeps the truck from sinking and lets the driver place the pile where you want it.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. For a drive, measure length by width and decide your depth; a solid compacted layer of limerock base is a common starting point, with more where the ground is soft.

We deliver across Starke and the rest of Bradford County, including Lawtey, Hampton and Brooker. If you are staging a job, mark a drop spot the dump truck can reach and pick a delivery date at checkout that fits your schedule.
