GOOD PRICE IS $85 PER TON LAIDED IN. THEY PAY $55 FOR THE MATERIAL IN MY AREA OF NORTH EAST Colorado ON 4/2009 AND ARE MOVING IT 60 MILES. A FLY BY NIGHT COMPANY CAME IN WITH A BID AT 22 $ A YARD. WELL WHATS THE CONVERSION RATE? WITH A LOT OF LOOKING I FOUND THIS INFO: 1 YARD IS 27 CUBIC FEET, THAT WIGHTS 150 TO 140 LBS OF ASPHALT {1/2 INCH AGGREGATE IS FOR LOW WEIGHT CARS 3/4 FOR GENERAL PARKING LOTS} YOU NEED 1.3 TONS TO EQUAL 1 TON OF COMPACTED SURFACE AREA. 1.3 TON COMPACTED COVERS 108 SQUARE FEET 3 INCH'S PREPARATION IS A BIG KEY, HARD DRY SURFACE IS A MUST. COMPACT GRAVEL, DIG UP ANY WET DIRT OR WHAT FOR IT TO DRY. USE A SEAL COAT OR BONDING COMPOUND OVER CEMENT AND ANY EDGING. MAKE SURE YOU VISIT ABOUT, COMPACTED AND NON-COMPACTED, NEEDS TO BE 3 IN OF COMPACTED DEPTH, COMPACTS AT .25 IN PER INCH. 1 IN + 3/4 IN. FINISH NEEDS TO BE 300 TO 330 DEGREES WHEN INSTALLED TO GET A GOOD COMPACTION. INSPECT FINISH IF ANY BIG AGGREGATE IS SHOWING GO OVER WITH HOT FINES AND COMPACT, IF COLD ADD A BONDING COMPOUND.
