Buy #67 Stone in Venice, FL

Florida Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Venice, FL, from limerock base to decorative stone, sand and soil. If you are building or repairing a drive here, start with limerock base. It is the crushed limestone graded down to fines that locks up hard over our deep sand, and it is what most Sarasota County drives are built on.

Everything is sold in bulk by the ton and delivered to your site. Order what the job calls for, and we bring it.

Materials for Venice Projects

Drive and base work comes first. Limerock base goes down as the structural layer, then you surface or top it with something sized for the traffic. The rest of the yard fills in drainage, sand, soil and decorative work.

For the top of a drive, #67 stone is a good fit. It is slightly smaller than #57 stone, so it spreads and locks into the base without rolling under tires. If you want an existing gravel drive refreshed rather than rebuilt, driveway gravel is the simpler order.

Drainage is the other half of most jobs here. Drain rock goes into French drains and downspout runs, and #57 stone works around foundations, pools and patio edges where water needs somewhere to go.

Sand and soil follow the hardscape. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand is for brick and block work and paver joints, and top soil rebuilds the ground before sod or planting.

Ground and Conditions in Venice

Water is the thing that decides base depth here. Venice sits on deep quartz sand, loose and fast-draining on the ridges, but flatwoods sand on the broad flats sits wet for part of the year, often over a hardpan layer that stops water moving down.

After a summer downpour, a flat lot can hold water for days. That is why a compacted limerock base matters: it bridges over soft, saturated sand instead of pumping and rutting. On a wet flat, you may need to excavate further and build the base up in lifts. On ridge sand, the same sand drains fast and the base can go down thinner.

Work runs year round, but the rainy season from late spring into October brings afternoon storms that saturate pads and slow grading. Hurricane season runs June through November. On the coast, storm surge and wave action move dune sand and wash out bare sandy slopes, so shoreline and canal banks need rip rap armoring rather than loose fill.

Delivery to Venice and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you want it, so have the drop spot clear and level before the truck gets there.

Think about access. A truck needs room to pull in and a clear path to the pile, and you want the material as close to the work as possible. Tell us if the drive is soft, narrow or has low branches, and whether the load should go in one pile or be split.

We deliver across Sarasota County, including North Port, Sarasota, Osprey, Longboat Key and Nokomis.
