Shares real costs ($29.30/ton delivered, ~$1,300 per load), honest difficulty, and lessons learned. Best for owners considering a similar large-scale driveway project.
An owner-operator sharing firsthand project experience from their own property, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
The owner underestimated the job, saying smoothing out the stone with the box blade probably took five or six hours for 40 tons over 620 feet.
The limestone cost about $29.30 a ton delivered, with two tri-axle loads totaling 40 tons costing around $1,300.
Bank gravel is half gravel, half dirt and mud, so it eventually pushes down into the driveway leaving just dirt, and it coats vehicles and gets dragged into the garage.
Keeping everything level, because hitting a bump with the tires makes the box blade react the same way, intensifying bumps and requiring constant adjustment.
