If you need an asphalt supplier for St. Lucie County work, Engineered Asphalt Materials (EAM) produces hot mix, Superpave and RAP-blended mixes at our Gencor plant in Vero Beach. St. Lucie County is part of our regular service area, covering Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie and the communities around them.
Supplying a fast-growing county
St. Lucie County keeps adding homes, commercial centers and the roads that connect them. That means a steady stream of subdivision streets, parking fields, commercial pads and resurfacing work, much of it on schedules set by developers and public agencies. Contractors need a plant that can produce the right mix, load it quickly and keep quality steady from the first truck to the last.
EAM was built in Vero Beach to serve that demand. Our Gencor equipment is known for clean operation and precise mix control, and quality control happens right at the plant, with mixes sampled and tested during production and temperatures monitored batch to batch.
What we produce for St. Lucie jobs
Our standard lineup covers each layer of a typical pavement section. Specs are confirmed per project, so check availability with the plant before specifying.
Surface and structural mixes
- SP-9.5 fine surface mix for residential streets, driveways and patching.
- SP-12.5 for surface and structural courses on streets and parking areas.
- SP-19 for structural and base layers under commercial traffic.
Binders and upgrades
- PG 64-22 and PG 67-22 standard performance grades.
- PG 76-22 polymer-modified binder for high-stress intersections, trucking routes and industrial sites.
Base, specialty and recycled
- BM-1 base mix for base course.
- Open-graded friction course, stone matrix asphalt and porous asphalt for drainage, high-speed and stormwater applications.
- RAP-blended HMA for cost-efficient, sustainable paving.
See the specifications page for gradation and binder detail.
Common St. Lucie County applications
Most of what we see from the county falls into a few groups, and each points toward a typical mix choice:
- New subdivision streets: SP-9.5 or SP-12.5 for residential traffic, or an SP-19 base with an SP-9.5 surface for HOA and private roads.
- Retail and commercial parking: SP-12.5 or SP-19, depending on truck traffic and the design section.
- Busy intersections and truck routes: Superpave with a polymer-modified binder to resist rutting under stop-and-go loads.
- Stormwater-sensitive lots: porous asphalt, where the design calls for water to pass through the surface.
- Utility cuts and repairs: SP-9.5 fine surface mix for patching.

Built for heat, rain and seasonal traffic
St. Lucie pavement takes a beating from long, hot summers, heavy rain and the traffic bump that comes every winter season. A mix that performs in a cooler, drier climate can rut or ravel here. That is why binder grade matters as much as gradation. Superpave mixes pair the aggregate structure with a performance-graded binder chosen for the expected traffic and climate, and polymer-modified PG 76-22 adds elasticity and rut resistance where loads are concentrated.
Drainage matters too. Friction course and porous mixes help move water off or through the surface, which can reduce standing water on roads and lots that see daily storms through the wet season. Talk to us early if your design calls for either.
How St. Lucie crews get their mix
Our plant is at 500 2nd St SW, Vero Beach, FL 32962. Pickup runs Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, first come, first served, with weekend and after-hours loading by request. Fast load times and FDOT Certified scales keep the line moving and the tickets accurate.
Crews without their own trucks can arrange delivery through local trucking partners, and we can connect you with preferred haulers. Call ahead so we can schedule production and have your mix hot and ready. Lead time depends on the mix and our production schedule, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to lock in your window.
Bid support and quantities
Bidding a municipal job or a large site package in the county? Our technical support team can help you settle quantities, mix types and timing before you submit. For a quick estimate on your own, the tonnage calculator turns length, width and thickness into tons using a standard density you can adjust for your mix.
When a project needs documentation, our quality program includes records that support contractor, developer and municipal requirements.
