Use this page
To get a rough regional range when you do not yet have a local quote.
Use the calculator
To turn your square footage into tonnage and project cost.
Use a contractor bid
To confirm the real number once the site has been inspected.
How to use these bands
Use the state group as a starting point, then enter your actual square footage in the calculator.
When you compare bids, keep thickness, prep scope, and cleanup assumptions the same.
Best use
Treat these prices as a broad market check. A real local bid should still confirm base condition, drainage, access, and current material availability.
Common questions
Are these exact state prices?
No. They are broad planning bands grouped by region so you have a quick starting point.
Why not use ZIP code pricing?
ZIP-level pricing needs live local data. This first version stays simple and honest.
When should I get a real quote?
Once the project size and surface type are known, ask a local contractor to inspect the site.
