O/T - Aggregate prices
Hi Chaps
I am budgeting for converting a grass area to hard standing, well gravel area but I have no idea what the average per ton price is for MOT and
gravel?
Does anyone know roughly, so I can budget?

Back in the summer we made a sand school for the horse and paid roughly £150 for a 30tonne lorry load (20T of MOT1) but we had 80T in all so got it a
bit cheaper. Its best to ring around locally as that was our cheapest quote but they went upto about £15-20 per Tonne.

If you want a largish amount it is much cheaper to buy it directly from thr quarry.
Some years ago I had several lorry loads delivered from the quarry in Wales, about 60 miles away.

As Mal says above, local quarry or is there any road resurfacing nearby ? Stop and ask if you can get some road planings.
