Material Purchases by the Scoop, Skip, Yard, or Ton?
Landscape supply yards are infamous for providing buyers with horrible rates of measurement. In nearly all cases they tell you that "their" scoop or skip is the best deal around and that they always give a little extra. Nothing could be further from the truth. Almost all rock materials in our industry are sold at the wholesale level the ton and truckers charge by the ton to haul the rock, and none of it is cheap. No one is just giving quality rock away.
When buying your materials you should know if you are being billed by the ton or the bucket load. If by the bucket on the loader, what is the size it is it 1/2, full yard, or another size?
Purchasing by a ton, the truck hauling it should be weighed before loading and after it is loaded. Almost any quarry that sells quality rock with a good reputation has a certified scale for weighing large truckloads of rock material. Each "scale house" or "weigh master" issues a weight ticket for the truck passing over the scale.
Purchasing by the scoop, then visually inspect each scoop to make sure it is a complete full scoop of material. When you pay for materials by ton you know exactly what you are getting. We strongly urge buyer's to request a scale receipt for their orders and not the word of the tractor operator that he put 4 or 5 skips, scoops, or yards in the truck.

When ordering use the Purchase Order function at checkout and enter ROCK as your payment method. This will allow you to create an order for a firm transportation quote without having to pay for it at this time. While we have posted transport rates, in many circumstances we are able to ship the order to you for less. You will be given a firm cost on the whole order within a few minutes to a few hours.

Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?
