Conveniently located near Tampa and serving the greater Tampa Bay area, this is one of the largest available supplies of red clay in Central Florida.

Quick Specs

What is Red Clay in Florida?

Red clay Florida is a dense, naturally occurring clay soil with a high iron oxide content giving it its distinctive red color. Unlike standard fill dirt or sandy soils, red clay compacts tightly and resists water infiltration, making it ideal for applications requiring a dense, impermeable layer. It is commonly used as a base layer in construction, pond lining, erosion control, and landscaping projects across Central Florida. For projects also requiring structural fill, pair red clay with A-3 structural fill for complete site preparation. For roadway and right of way projects, reference the Florida Department of Transportation standard specifications.
