We had rock delivered for our backyard and we have about 3tons left to put into the back. (just to pile up) but my husband has returned to work. Does anyone know someone who can come for cheep and move the rest?? We have the wheelebaral and shovels just need the workers. willing to pay 20-30 dollors for all to be over and done with.

So let me understand this, you want someone to move the gravel to where ever and you want and pay them - love this part - $20-$30 dollars to do it. Would you do it for $20/$30?

OMG! I had 4 tons of rock delivered and it took me 2 days to haul that stuff to the back yard and I was still undergoing post op knee surgery healing process! I would not do it with a good knee for that amount! I am not trying to be rude but, it is a huge job and not easy. You might find a teen to do it for $30 but, I doubt that too! Good luck. You might want to take your sweet time and just do it yourself little by little.

Live every day as if it were your last and smile!

My husband moved the othe 7 tons In about 3hrs So i figure the last 3 shouldn't take that long. Yes I would do it for that amount if i could i just don't have the mussels to pick it all up and my HOA will not let me have it in the frount for any more time or i would do little bits by my self. It's just hard to find time i have 3 little ones at home that i can't have running in the street while I'm movig rock.

There is no way that 1 person moved 7tons in 3hours, that's impossible. We had 30tons in front of our house and we rented a bobcat and it still took us all weekend.

Not Impossible the only help he had was 2 of our kids (7 & 8) I don't know if they were more help or in the way he could fill and wheel barrow and take it abck in about 7min That's over 8 trips/hr so yes we had 10 tons delivered and less then 1/3 of the pile is left. I know that I've seen teams do a whole back yard in a cupple of hr's in the morrings around here and that would be about twice as much rock.

Henderosa, I work as a landscaper, usually by myself and have moved a fair amount of gravel/river rock/riprap etc. I charge my customers by the ton -$35 per, this is not a request for you to hire me, however my suggestion to you is to offer something comparable, you may get a better response and not as much disdain. Good luck.
