June 25, 20188 yr Anybody got a rough idea on cost for about 100 to 150 tons of driveway type gravel delivered in the NKY area? Thanks
June 25, 20188 yr Last I saw you could estimate at $1.30 a square foot at 4" deep. Not sure how that calculates to tons.

June 25, 20188 yr Ballpark figure....would be around $500 for 25 tons delivered plus tax. And that will depend how far you are from the rock quarry. I have used Sterling materials out of Verona/Warsaw before. I've used blacktop millings before for a little cheaper if you can find them and they hold up well on flat stretches.
June 29, 20188 yr Author Thanks all, looks like I am starting the project next Thursday. Bobcat being delivered at 8am, first gravel load at 9am. Anybody want to help on Thursday July 5th?

That was the rough going rate give or take, not sure where this guy is getting the rock from but he said he can make a full turn in about 90 minutes so it cant be too far.
June 29, 20188 yr Author Check out Ideal Supply in Ludlow KY Price of the gravel was fair, delivery charge not so much, but I am about 45 minutes from their so I understood that.
June 29, 20188 yr What are you using it for? Driveway? Have them put a block in the center of the tail gate so it only drops gravel on the wheels part if you need to stretch it out.
June 29, 20188 yr Author What are you using it for? Driveway? Have them put a block in the center of the tail gate so it only drops gravel on the wheels part if you need to stretch it out. Basically a big gravel parking lot, 60 feet by 40 Feet, roughly 12-18 inches deep. Part of it is to extend a current driveway about 25 feet as well.
June 30, 20188 yr Author You should just blacktop it you will save money in the long run. Why would I want all that tar on everything. Plus it would sink with the weight of the trailers on it over time.
June 30, 20188 yr Dense grade (includes fines) costs roundabout $23 per ton plus delivery fee. Washed #57 cost about $27 plus delivery fee. 1 ton of dense grade will cover, roughly, a 6'x6' area with a 6" depth of gravel. 1 ton of 57s will cover, roughly, a 6'×7' area with 6" depth of gravel. Make sure when you order out your gravel to specify that you want dump truck drivers who are capable of tailgating their load (slowly letting it dump out the back of their tailgate as they slowly drive forward so they leave an even layer of material in a trail behind them). If they tell you they won't tailgate your load, tell them you'll find another trucking company to deliver it.....bulldozer/bobcat equipment time is expensive, truck driver mileage and delivery fee, relatively, is not.

Due to the depth i have to go (roughly 14 inches) to get leveled up with the current drive way, im starting with a bunch of the base 2 gravel first, then dense grade on top. First load cant be tailgated due to the drop and a residential power line going to the house. After that most of it can be tailgated.
