How many tons of limestone gravel is needed for my driveway?

Question

The driveway is about 15 feet by 30 feet. Any estimate of what it will cost? (I know that this will vary company to company. Just a rough estimate would be nice)

Answer 1

Tons of Limestone at 450 SQ FT

Assuming 4 inches in depth:

(450 S.F.*4/12)/27=5.56 TONS

For more inches just plug it in before the /12.

In my area limestone gravel cost about $15 per ton. Figure $80 for delivery with a dump truck and 10% extra.

$15*6 TONS (figured in with 10% added)=$90+TAX +80 for delivery =

approximately $180 total for delivery of 6 TONS of limestone gravel.

Answer 4

How deep is the gravel you want to use. I believe the gravel would have to be order by the cubic foot or yard. Say you would need a 15ft by 30 ft drive with a 6" depth. you would multiply 15 x 30 x .5 = 225 cu. ft of limestone gravel. If you have to order by weight, you will have to find out how much a cu. ft. weighs and calculate the weight 225 x the price of a cu. ft. = $XXXX

Answer 5

You should call around to your local gravel pits and get a Quote on the phone , you probably need about 12 tons to get a couple inch or better layer, D-1 is good and packs nicely and after is hosed down the rocks show up better, you may not like loose stone because it tends to scatter.

Answer 6

2 tonne would be plenty to give you a good thickness(not too thin so your liner shows through.You can get 1 tonne bags for £30 at most builders yards and they will deliver too.

Answer 7

False.
