Why limerock base fits Boca Raton
The paver base standard
Boca Raton runs on pavers, and pavers run on limerock. A properly compacted limerock base keeps paver driveways and patios level for years instead of settling into waves.
FDOT specification
Our limerock base meets Florida Department of Transportation specifications, the benchmark referenced on permitted hardscape and driveway work.
Sandy soil, solved
Boca Raton's native sand compacts poorly on its own. Limerock locks together under compaction and gives every project above it a stable platform.
