Do you meet FDOT specifications?
We produce mixes that meet FDOT specifications depending on project requirements.
How do I place an order or schedule a pickup?
Placing your order ahead of time helps us schedule production and have your mix hot and ready when you arrive. Contact our team to set up your pickup time.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
Order requirements can vary by mix type and production run. Reach out to our team and we'll let you know what's needed for your project.
How much lead time do you need for an order?
Lead time depends on the mix you need and our current production schedule. Contact us as early as possible so we can plan your order and confirm timing.
What payment methods do you accept?
Contact our team to discuss accepted payment methods and account setup for your order.
How much is hot mix asphalt per ton?
We quote pricing by phone. Call or text (772) 494-6077 for current pricing and availability for your mix. Before you call, use our asphalt tonnage calculator to estimate how many tons your job needs from length, width, and thickness.
How much is a dump truck load of hot asphalt?
Load sizes vary by truck and mix. We load your trucks at the plant over FDOT Certified scales, so every ticket reflects exactly what your truck is carrying. Call (772) 494-6077 for pricing on the tonnage you need.
Should I use 2 or 3 inches of asphalt for my driveway?
For a new driveway or one carrying heavier vehicles, plan on 3 inches or more of compacted asphalt; 1.5 to 2 inches is typical only when overlaying an existing sound surface. A fine surface mix such as SP-9.5 is the usual choice for residential work. Call (772) 494-6077 and our team will confirm the right thickness and mix for your project.
How thick should asphalt be in Florida?
Thickness depends on the job: 1.5 to 2 inches is typical for overlays, and 3 inches or more for new construction and heavy traffic. Structural work is built in layers, for example an SP-19 base with an SP-9.5 surface course, the combination we recommend for HOA and private roads. Confirm the exact spec with our plant before ordering.
Can I pick up asphalt outside normal business hours?
Weekend and after-hours pickup is available by request for crews that pave outside normal hours. Call or text (772) 494-6077 to arrange a pickup window.
What is the difference between hot mix asphalt and asphalt?
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is asphalt produced hot at the plant: a durable, heat-produced mix made with precise mix control for reliable workability and compaction, and picked up hot so it can be placed right away. It is one of several asphalt products we make; our plant also produces Superpave performance grades, polymer-modified mixes, and recycled RAP blends.
What are the disadvantages of hot mix asphalt?
The main constraint of hot mix is timing: it must be picked up and placed while hot, which is why pickups are scheduled directly with our plant team so your mix is hot and ready when you arrive. Ordering ahead lets us plan production around the first-come, first-served pickup window, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
What does mix design mean in construction?
A mix design is the engineered recipe for your asphalt: an aggregate gradation paired with a performance-graded binder to suit your project loading and climate. For example, Superpave gradations such as SP-9.5 or SP-12.5 are paired with PG 64-22, PG 67-22, or polymer-modified PG 76-22 binders. Request a mix design and our team will spec the right combination for your job.
How do I start an asphalt project step by step?
Start by estimating tonnage with our calculator (length, width, thickness), then check the mix selection guide or ask our team to spec the right material. Call (772) 494-6077 to place your order ahead of time so production can be scheduled and your mix is hot and ready when you arrive. Plant pickup runs Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, first come, first served.
What are the steps of an asphalt project with EAM?
Working with EAM follows four steps: production (your mix manufactured to spec at our Gencor plant), pickup (fast loadout at 500 2nd St SW, Vero Beach), mix design (blends tailored to your specs and traffic demands), and technical support (guidance on quantities, mix types, and timing). Call or text (772) 494-6077 to get started.
What are the benefits of buying asphalt directly from the plant?
Buying directly from our Vero Beach plant means your mix is loaded hot, with rapid load times and consistent batch-to-batch output that keeps your trucks moving. Every load goes out over FDOT Certified scales, so your ticket reflects exactly what your truck is carrying, and mixes are sampled and tested on-site before they leave the facility. Local production also means shorter waits than hauling from distant suppliers.
Is it better to call or text us?
Either works: call or text (772) 494-6077 anytime. For pricing, availability, lead times, and locking in a pickup window, calling the plant gets you a straight answer fastest. You can also send project details through the contact form and we will follow up promptly.
