Pricing depends alot on the current construction and area you are in. But you are right in the ball park at $22 per ton delivered. If I pick up I can cut the price in half but fuel and time will cost me the difference.

I was paying 320.00 for 18 ton of 57 and or #4 in the early spring and now we are back up to $400.00. If you get a spreader truck involved typically it costs me another $50.00



Closing the loop.... My stone came today. I got it for $18.50/ton delivered. Semi averaged around 21 Ton/load.

Thanks for the inputs guys!

There we go. That sounds pretty good Bill.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?

Around here stuff is sold by the cubic yard, and trucks are rated the same.

I just use a box scraper on my stuff - works great!

Sweet, now lets see pictures smile

Would love if we could upgrade the site to allow taptalk to work with pondboss.com and then picture upload from mobile devices would be a snap!

Not much of a picture. Just building up the driveway some more today getting it ready for asphalt next year after another year of settling.

Guy just handed me the bill. Came in a little cheaper than quoted. Final total was $1206.05 for 67.2 tons of road stone so just a shade under $18.00/ton.

Saved around $300 from the original guys price! smile Going to be buying a lot of riprap soon so those savings from the new supplier are going to multiply.

Thanks again for the advice guys!

I don't recall what I have paid in the past but I think it was a LOT more than that.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I dug out the receipts for some stone we had spread on the drive a few weeks ago. Three tri-axle loads of 20.47, 19.73, and 19.85 tons respectively, for a cumulative total of exactly 60.05 tons of #4 stone.

The bill was $690 total, including stone, haul fees, and spreading.

Lots of oil drilling in my area so lots of demand for gravel. I expect the price is pretty high.
