I am doing some hardscaping and putting in new driveway. My contractor called me at work, I needed to order some fill. It was a busy day at work, was told 50 yards but some how wrote down 500 yards. Had no idea how much dirt 500 yards was till I went home. I have a mountain in my front yard, good thing a backhoe is coming next week!

Whoa!!!! 500 yards of dirt? It took my son and I 10 hours to move and place 24 yards of compost with shovel and wheelbarrow, I can't even imagine 500 yards! Your neighbors might be curious as to what your up to! :D

Was joking with a friend, that must have gold ore in it. They said must be high cost of gas for delivery. Everything in NY is expensive so didn't question it.I feel like a fool.

Maybe you can sell some of it and recoupe some money? Especially if you have a backhoe coming next week, you could load it for people.

Nyboy!

There is now a google ad at the bottom of the page as I type:

"Topsoil, Rock ScreenersOMH soil screening in action
Portable, vibratory, affordable"

You can go into this in a professional way!
