[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 173408, member: 1288"] It's selling for roughly $16 a yard, but $23 a yard delivered to my place. This is new construction, so there is no top soil to remove. In fact, I'll have to add some fill to get it level before adding the concrete. Is this going to be an issue? The native soil is very hard and has not been disturbed (except for the area that was backfilled around the house). The front 1/2 (away from the house) needs to be brought up about 6-8" to level the area. I guess I could leave it as is and fill the entire thing with crushed concrete, but that would nearly double the amount needed. My plan is to add fill in 2" lifts and pack. If I used a skid steer to add that fill, would that be enough to pack it? I'd still wet the area and pack it again before adding the crushed concrete. [/QUOTE]
