10 yards will cover anywhere from 800 sq ft to 2500, depending on size/type of stone. Smaller or flatter stone, covers more.
Make sure you are getting a commercial grade 'weed block' as that is what actually keeps the weeds at bay. also watch that the workers do a good clean looking job putting the mat down, not a patchwork hodgepodge look.
If you need to remove about 500 sq ft of sod (my guess ) and pinestraw, and spread 10 cy of stone, my charge would be around $3500. That is middle of the road pricing, and on the low end for those of us that actually have insurance, workers comp and not asking for cash or a check written to us personally.
Would seem like you could take your lowest bid and any yokel with a wheelbarrow will suffice, but I get about 1 call a month to REMOVE and replace weedy dirty stone that has been down a couple years with junk weed block (and other problems created by 'cheap' labor). That is a bit expensive when you already paid to have it done once.
Get a few bids, and pay a little extra for the guy you trust. He probably won't even be the highest bid.
