Sitework, excavation and limerock base in Miami, Broward and Palm Beach

Every road and parking lot we pave sits on a base we built. Excavation, limerock, grading and compaction are where pavement is won or lost, so we do them ourselves.

Limerock base is the foundation of South Florida roads. It has to be placed in lifts, brought to optimum moisture, compacted to 98 percent of modified Proctor and primed before asphalt ever arrives. When a lot fails early, the base is almost always why, and it is almost always because the base and the paving were two different companies.

We own the excavators, loaders and rollers and employ the operators. On a new parking lot or a subdivision road we take the site from clearing through finished grade, build the base, and then our own paving crew places the asphalt on it. One company owns the result.

For developers and GCs we also handle the civil package around a building: parking fields, drive aisles, drainage, curbing and sidewalk, so the site contractor and the paver are not pointing at each other over a low spot.

What we do

Excavation & earthwork

Clearing, demolition of existing pavement, cut and fill, and hauling.

Limerock base

Placing, grading and compacting limerock base to FDOT and county specifications, with density testing.

Fine grading

Final grading to plan elevations for pavement, concrete and drainage.

Stabilized subgrade

Lime rock stabilization and compaction of subgrade where soils require it.

Site preparation

Pad prep, parking field prep and utility trench backfill for commercial and multifamily sites.

Roadway reconstruction

Full-depth removal and rebuild of failed roadway sections, base through surface.

For GCs and public agencies

We build and test base on FDOT, DTPW and municipal roadway projects and know the density requirements and lift thicknesses by heart. For a prime, we can price earthwork, base, paving and concrete as a package, which removes a seam from your schedule.

For homeowners, HOAs and property managers

A new driveway or lot on raw ground starts with us. We grade it so water goes where it should, build the base so it does not settle, and pave it so it lasts.

Where we have done it

Site earthwork, fine grading and asphalt paving for a multifamily development at Northside Village, and grading, sidewalk, curb and paving at Stadium Towers in Miami.

Questions we get asked

How thick should limerock base be under a parking lot?

Six inches of compacted limerock is typical under passenger-car parking; eight inches or more under truck lanes, dumpster pads and public streets. Miami-Dade and FDOT specify the thickness and density for right-of-way work.

Can you pave over my old parking lot or does it have to come out?

If the base is sound, we can mill the surface and overlay it. If sections pump, rut or alligator, those areas need full-depth removal and new base before any overlay. We identify which during the site visit.

Do you provide density testing?

Yes. On public work it is required, and on private work we recommend it for anything a truck will drive on. We coordinate the testing lab or work with yours.
