643.0. "Pea stone" by MCIS2::WALTON () Tue Jul 31 1990 22:05

    I need a quickie recommendation/suggestion about where to buy
    "pea" gravel.  We need some to finish our back yard, and I don't know
    where to buy it.  The only gravel pit I know of is in Littleton, MA,
    and I don't think that they sell in the small amount that I need.
    
    Any suggestions, or pointers?
    
    Thanks,

643.1How much do you need?NITMOI::PESENTIOnly messages can be draggedWed Aug 01 1990 11:473
You might be able to buy small quantities in bags from a nusery or hardware 
store.  If you need something on the order of a pickup truck full, call SANVEL,
if they can't deliver, they might know who can (maybe a landscaper?).
643.2Try NARDONE in WestfordTPS::BUTCHARTMachete CoderWed Aug 01 1990 16:046
Nardone, on Power Road in Westford (off 119 past the Nashoba Valley Ski area)
sells in load-your-own pickup truck quantity, by weight.  Pull up to the office,
get your truck weighed, pull over to the self load bins, and in about 10 minutes
you can shovel a half-ton of sand or gravel.

    Great, this Nardone place sounds like just what we need.

    re: Nardone 'U-pick' pea gravel
    
    I hope you can afford it.  Why, last time a picked up a truck load,
    it cost me almost $7.
