Although some areas can be very competitive, there are great variances of aggregate pricing throughout the country, especially for rip rap. Undelivered material pricing ranged from $13.00 to $24.00 per ton for 8â rip rap; the average price per ton was $16.69 for an eight-ton load. The default unit pricing used for estimating purposes in My Estimator is the average cost of the rip rap and includes delivery, but not installation.
When bought in bulk, seashells are on the more affordable end of the spectrum: comparable to crushed gravel; less than asphalt, concrete, or stone. Clam shells seem to be the least expensive, offered at about $40 per cubic yard, or $50 per ton. We priced crushed oyster shell at $385 per ton. The Atlantic coast is the primary source of shells; if you live elsewhere, shipping may be the most expensive part of the project. Contact your local landscape supplier for availability. Alternatively, suppliers like Myco ship crushed shell all over North America.
