Road Base Delivered in Opa Locka, FL, starting at $53/ton

The ground here is sandy ground over limestone that holds water after rain, so build the planting layer up a few inches and grade it so beds don't sit wet.

Plenty of Opa Locka sits low near the water, where road base compacts into a firm, load-bearing pad that holds driveways and slabs steady on soft, wet ground.

Around Opa Locka: October–May.
