Gravel cost

[TNhobbyfarmer]

I need a load of gravel. I haven't bought any in quite awhile. What does gravel cost in your area?

Hope this helps

2A crushed limestone purchased June 2015. $11.40/ton for stone + $4.00/ton delivery. Tandem load (about 23 ton) was about $370, including 6% sales tax.

Atlanta area #57 $450 for 18 tons. I just got 4 loads of 57 crushed concrete for $418/load. Actual was closer to 20 tons per load.

In all seriousness, get a soil map of your property and see if there's any there. In your location in Tenn., I have no idea.

On our property up here in north-central Indiana, it was supposed to be all muck and sand, but low and behold, I got a soil map and in the exact spot where the State Highway Dept. told me I had to cut my access road in, there was a pocket of gravel about 100' x 50' laying just a foot or two under the sand! Free gravel!

I didn't think there was gravel there. Everybody thought it was sand. I got lucky. Maybe you will, too. Its worth looking into for anyone. :thumbsup:

Down here in Branson, I buy the 0 to 3/4 crusher run for about $110 for a single axle dump truck load. About 7 tons or so. That is delivered in a pile or spread if you want on a road. We have a local guy with this single axle truck which is easier to maneuver up our road and around trees.

The last stone I had hauled ran around $500 for a tandem truck load of #57 washed. The quarry is three miles from my house and my neighbor that farms our property owns a trucking and paving company. I need to get a couple loads this winter.

Here in Michigan, I am used to buying yards, not tons.
