$400 a load for SB2. If you want something that's been washed, it's even more.

While back here on OTT was shocked at what some folks were paying for stone depending on area.

I got 15 yards of various washed stone for $200 for years.

Last year crusher run was $350 or so. Was $300 year before.

Daren - $400 was probably a decent price depending on haul distance.

Thats in the neighborhood of my last quote - I decided I did not need it that bad.

Pretty sure my investment in ~1500' of asphalt has paid for itself.....

I have 1/4 mile long driveway, I'm really not looking forward to the cost of rocking it.

I have a shale driveway. After a hard freeze, snow, then thaw, I buried my service truck (F550 w/ crane, 17,500 lbs)

Wife's car was sketchy getting in and out. Thats when I called for stone. I could really use one more load. I had to fill some deep ruts between the service truck and the tri axle dump truck.

RCW, what they call crusher run in the east is SB2 in arkansas.

It's like eating an elephant One load at a time when you have the extra funds.

I do too, but I did it several years ago for about $5K.

We have started buying asphalt millings for our 1/2 mile drive. Cost less than washed gravel and has held up extremely well so far in the areas we have done with 8 tri axle loads. Probably need 8 or 10 more loads to do the whole road. Best we have come up with for the road in the 32 years we have been trying to maintain it.

I wish I could get them here, but none of the places that have them will sell, they are like gold here.
It's way cheaper for them to use that as a base for new asphalt that it is to use virgin material.
