I'm looking to spruce up my front yard and found someone local who will deliver 3 tons of gravel for $250, but there's an extra $50 for delivery, bringing the total to $300. I'm based in central coast California. I think it sounds okay, but I could really use some advice to confirm if this is a good deal or if I should keep looking. What do you think?

Regional differences can really affect prices. That deal is okay if you're getting a decent type of gravel. Just make sure to check if others in your area have similar pricing before you buy.
Exactly! Always a good idea to have a few quotes to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
I just paid $150 for 3 tons with delivery from Home Depot not long ago. If you’re getting something similar, it’s worth checking out more options! You might get a better price somewhere else.
Can you share the link to the gravel you ordered? That's a fantastic price!
Good deal! Sometimes big stores have periodic discounts, keep an eye out.
I think you could find cheaper options if you call around. I recently paid $120 for 3 tons in a rural area. It's all about local pricing, but talking to a few suppliers could reveal better deals.
That’s a huge difference! It's interesting how regional prices can vary so much.
True, just make sure you consider delivery costs too when comparing!
It sounds like a decent price! Around my area, the price per ton is often around $50-$70, plus delivery fees. If you factor in the delivery cost, this seems quite reasonable, especially in California where prices tend to be higher.
Yeah, the $50 delivery is what makes it a good deal, especially if you consider how much you'd spend driving back and forth from a store.
Definitely shop around to compare, but if it's a type of gravel you like, don’t let it pass!
Yes, getting quotes from multiple vendors sounds smart. You never know what deals might be out there!
