How to spread gravel without a tractor

How to spread 11 tons of gravel and pebbles on our parkway July 17, AM Subscribe We have a large, long parkway or so feet long and 11 tons of gravel and pebbles to spread on it. What would be the most economical way to pay to have it spread? Guys with wheelbarrows and shovels or some sort of mechanical equipment? The parkway is easy to access from the road, but there is a 10" curb, drip irrigation and landscape fabric already installed which impede access somewhat. Define 'economical'. If I had to spread that much rock, I'd be looking at renting a Bobcat for a day or two. Has the gravel already been delivered? If so, I agree with jquinby, rent the Bobcat. If it's delivered in a dump truck, the driver should be able to back it in and slowly drop the gravel as he pulls back out. You'll still have some raking at the edges, but if the delivery guy has experience, it should be a nice level spread. You may want to call and discuss this if there's still time. So that's a bit less than a full dumptruck load right? If you're lucky you can get the dumptruck driver to raise his bed, put it in low gear, and idle his way down your driveway this is the same as a parkway right? This will save you much time and effort, unless it's already in a pile somewhere on your property, and is well within the purview of most truck driver's experience.

I am in the 'no hurry' mode. I use the box blade on my tractor and a Rachet Rake on the bucket.
