Road Base Delivered in Miami Beach, FL, starting at $53/ton

The ground here is loose beach-and-dune sand that drains fast, so a planting layer needs body and compost to hold water and feed roots instead of leaching straight through.

On Miami Beach's exposed coastal ground, road base packs down tight to a stable base that carries weight where the soil is loose and low.

Around Miami Beach: October–May.
