Nice! I was looking at the town in the pictures and was thinking it looked oddly familiar. One of my dear friends lives there in the southern part of town by the college. Lucky you

Looks great! You are motivating me to keep at it. Started clearing the access to the pond today.
Called stone guy and I'm looking at 416.00 per load of number 3 and 57 stone and 318.00 for 21a. (14ton truckloads):shocked:

Rock up here is 350 for 14 ton.

Woodland - yes, we really like the neighborhood. Rural but not too far out and that area around the college has some great hiking.

PTM - Crazy how expensive rocks can be huh? I laid out a gravel turn-around that took 135 tons to get done and nearly brought a tear to my eye. If you're doing a road, I read recommendations to put down a fabric under the rock. I used this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1S9EJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Can't say how it will affect the longevity of the road but it has prevented weed growth.

The other thing I found was the 3" rip-rap drainage rock I put down first was really hard on the bar tires. 200 hours on my machine and the bars are down to maybe 1/2" and less. Your machine is a monster compared to mine so maybe the tires hold up better as well.
