If it's that wet right now, you may have to mix in lime to dry it out first before grading.

It's not uncommon for it to take an extra load to load and a half from the estimate, just depends on the base and how wide you do it.

Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, south and North Carolina and some in Virginia, the coastal areas are loaded with old shell roads.

Mine is around 140' by 16' with 2 turnouts one single and a half wide, one two cars plus wide, mine was $2250. I had a good hard base below mine and that helps. He did all the leveling and prep work and had it all but about half a load done in one day.
