Anyone priced it lately? Do they charge by the pound or ft?

We bought 40ish tons on some property 10 years ago, and it was around $25 a ton delivered
Call Willinghams in Newberry. They can tell you. What size?
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
Length x width x thickness gives cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get yards- Class b is man sized rip rap and should average basketball size, I get it delivered in Charleston for about $70 ton for a tri- axle truck full. Smaller amounts cost more delivered.
It works best when installed on a 2/1 slope- if you need 3' vertical it should slope back 6 feet.
Geotextile cloth should be installed beneath it.
The Martin Marietta website has a product calculator that is right on the money- select aggregates then chose granite, put in your numbers and get your amount.
If you are going to use a wheelbarrow- get an industrial steel one with a solid rubber tire- the blue ones at Lowes cost about $100- rip-rap will destroy the average wheelbarrow.
If you are going to hire it out make sure they properly slope it and use the woven polypropylene geotextile cloth- Cost installed should be between $150-$200/ ton- pay them per the weight ticket from the truck. It's a very labor intensive project. Don't let them dump it on your driveway unless they use a dump pad- ours is 16x16, otherwise it should be dumped on the ground on a big tarp and make the contractor clean up all the dirt and rock chips- we normally dump it on the rip rap.
Let me know if you need any more info.
