Turd,
You writing a book? Make sure we all get acknowledged. Septic sand can run 30 - 35 dollars a yd. delivered around here depending on the haul. Expensive chit!

By septic sand, what do you mean. 12% sand, 8% or modified? Lots of it in MN but I believe it is still quite spendy. I'll check with my trucking friends.

Re: Septic System Costs Sand & Ag By Region


In South Jersey about $5.00 - $6.00 per ton picked up k-4 , k-5 sand. only a few quality places to get it. Washed Jersey stone 3/4" - 1 1/2" about 16.00 per ton picked up . Cheaper to go to PA and buy 1 1/2" washed.!!

begging info? Hardly
s.w fla paying $4.50 ton washed aracadia pit

$6.00 ton ortona
and most jobs use little sand

Im doing a market study. I know how profitable my biz is and wondering if other regions do as well. No im not throwing that out there it would be unfair. But your welcome to take my figgures and do your own research. I can say I do extremely well in florida markup vs cost
