Found a rock man from Mahen Trucking who can deliver rock at $12 a ton. His max load is 17 tons or about $204, with tax about $214. This rock is the white rock that crumbles to dust and compacts. He says it is what is used around the lake although we may want larger rock for a base on softer land.
The calculation for gravel tonnage is as follows: cubic yards x 1.5 = tons.
Therefore: 100 feet x 10 feet = 1000 sqare feet. 1000 sqft / 27 = 37 cubic yards.
37 cy x 1.5 = 55 tons of gravel.
That seems high. Checking.
Forgot to multiply by depth:
Therefore: 100 feet x 10 feet = 1000 sqare feet.
1000 sq ft x depth .33 feet = 330 cubic feet
330 cft / 27 = 12 cubic yards.
12 cy x 1.5 = 18 tons gravel.
adding garage area - assuming 25 x 20 feet at 4 inch depth adds 9 more cubic tons.
Total 27 cubic tons or 27 x $12 = $324 for gravel alone
Add $320 for grading work
Total costs = $644

May be acutually more footage once i add everything i want. Might as well do it all at once.
Rational for doing this now? Access and usability. We will need access to not just the garage but the front of the home for hauling in and out and then access to the lake for fun. Hope you agree Deb.
