How this was put together
We read the price pages that gravel and landscape supply yards publish on their own websites, normalized each line to one material and one unit, then took the median and the quartiles per material. A material shows up here once Colorado has three listings for it. The short write-ups above need five.
Two things to keep in mind when you use these numbers. A published price is a list price, so what you pay can differ once delivery, a minimum load, or a contractor rate enters the picture. And a yard an hour further out with cheaper stone is often the more expensive option once the truck is paid for.
