Gravel

[Manassas]

I want some gravel to reinforce a driveway before the big rains start. Had my wife ask around the local contractors. I'm getting price quotes of up to B3,000 per truck load.

 

When I bought some gravel some years ago my memory is that it was much cheaper. Have prices gone up?  Prices like that are getting out of reach for local farmers who all use gravel for various jobs.

If the price of gravel is now more expensive than it was a few years ago, then, yes prices have gone up

I solved my gravel mystery. I wanted the large rough gravel (hin luk lang) at about B800 per 10 ton truckload. After some inquiries I'm told the quarries that produce it have reserved it all for the highway department and are not selling to the public. So I'm being offered concrete gravel for B2,800 per 10 ton truckload. That's a big price difference.  

 

I'll wait until the cheap stuff is available again. Besides the larger size of the rough gravel is much better for paving over the mud.

Always bought it by the cubic meter.
