Buy Crushed Stone in Fort Myers, Florida

Order crushed stone online by the ton and a dump truck brings it to your address. You mark the drop spot, and the driver places the load right there. Fort Myers gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout matters before you order.

The truck arrives on the day you pick at checkout. Someone must be at the site to direct the driver. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.

How Fort Myers Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Fort Myers averages about 74 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids soft spots. The ground rarely freezes here, with about 1 day a year below 32F, so frost heave is not a concern, but surface movement from wet-dry cycles can shift a poorly compacted base.

Soils mapped around Fort Myers are commonly poorly drained. Where the ground is not artificially drained, water sits near the surface and causes the soil to lose strength. This means you likely need more base stone under driveways or patios than you would in a well-drained area. The ground around Fort Myers falls into hydrologic soil group B/D? where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate, but where it is not drained it runs off, so drainage planning and a deeper crushed stone base matter more here than elsewhere.

Lee County permitted about 10,554 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to many new lots needing foundation base, driveways, and drainage stone. Whether you work on a new build or an older property, matching the stone size to the job and the local soil conditions keeps the surface stable.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need

To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide on the depth in inches. Multiply length times width times depth and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Use our crushed stone calculator to convert that into tons based on the specific stone weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the smallest load of crushed stone you deliver to Fort Myers?

We deliver a minimum of 1 ton of crushed stone. That is about 2/3 of a cubic yard of 3/4" crushed stone. For small patios or walkways, a 1-ton load often covers 40 to 50 square feet at 2 inches deep.

Does the soil around Fort Myers change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. Soils mapped in the Fort Myers area are commonly poorly drained, so you may need a deeper base than standard recommendations. Budget more crushed stone for driveways and patios compared to a well-drained location.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Smaller stones like 3/8" and #8 stone pack tighter because more pieces fill the gaps. Larger stones such as 1" to 1 1/2" leave air pockets and do not compact as densely, which is fine for drainage layers but not for finished surfaces.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For a driveway or parking area, crushed stone should be 4 to 6 inches thick after compaction. A 4-inch layer works for passenger cars, while 6 inches handles heavier trucks or frequent traffic. Always compact in lifts if the total depth exceeds 4 inches.
