#1 | | Driveway Extension / Bobcat Work (Charlotte) Name: Jeremy City: Charlotte State: NC County: Mecklenburg Join Date: Mar 2006 Age: 31  05-01-2008, 06:11 PM
Look for someone with a bobcat (or some type of earth mover) -- or someone who just wants to work !
At the end of our driveway is an area that was covered in gravel for parking & such. It was the wrong kind of gravel and is now just a muddy mess. We'd like to have the area leveled off a bit (possibly enclosed with railroad ties or concrete blocks) and then re-topped with crush/run.
(Or if someone knows of a heck of a deal on concrete, that would be even better!)
Any takers? PM me and let's talk. Looking for an estimate.  | | Views: 423 | |

Man it's too bad you're not in Raleigh or the surrounding area. I could take care of you in a heartbeat.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Jeremy,
There is no sentence in the world that includes the words cement and deal.Seriously,check out CL,with the housing construction/crunch you should be able to find a landscaper type that would have time to take on a small job and would be able to haul your material for you also.If not ,consider renting what you need and do it yourself. | |

Yeah rent one of those bronking bronco's, it'll be fun... PS you could also use the bronco to skid your log out of the woods - that you mentioned in the other thread. It's not called a skid steer for nothing you know... | |

How many square feet are you adding? I don't know if I can get you a deal, but I can get you a competitive price for concrete. | |

Jeremy you would probably be looking at somewhere in the $4.00 a sq/ft range I believe. That may be a little off +/- but should be close.
Concrete is running somewhere around the $130 a yard range, can't remember the latest finishing prices, but they are probably somewhere around the $70/ yard range. I've had a few quotes lately for other stuff, but they have been all inclusive...so I am not sure what the individualized breakdown would be.
