We provide reliable delivery, verified material sources, and jobsite-ready aggregate to help contractors stay compliant and keep projects moving.

What is FDOT Certified Rock?

FDOT Certified Rock refers to aggregate materials approved by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for use in public infrastructure and state-funded construction projects.

To meet FDOT requirements, materials must:

• Come from an FDOT-approved source
• Be tracked with a FDOT Mine ID
• Pass required testing, including:

• L.A. Abrasion (durability)
• Soundness loss
• Gradation (particle size distribution)
• Specific gravity and absorption
• Particle shape requirements

These materials are verified through the FDOT Materials Acceptance and Certification (MAC) system.

Why FDOT Certification Matters

Using FDOT-certified materials ensures:

• Compliance with project specifications
• Acceptance during inspections
• Long-term durability in Florida conditions

Using non-certified material can lead to:

• Failed inspections
• Stop-work orders
• Removal and replacement at your expense
• Delays and added project costs

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between FDOT rock and regular aggregate?

FDOT-certified rock must meet strict testing and source approval requirements. Regular aggregate may not meet these standards and is not acceptable for state-funded projects.

Do I need FDOT certified rock for private projects?

Not always—but many engineers and municipalities still require it to ensure quality and durability.

How fast can you deliver in Palm Beach County?

Delivery timelines depend on project size and scheduling, but we prioritize fast, reliable local delivery.

How much FDOT base rock do I need?

Material quantities depend on your project dimensions and compaction requirements. We can help estimate quantities based on your plans.
