Anyone know a gravel delivery guy. I'm looking for 5 yards in my yard.

That sounds like a difficult feat.

Mike Herman and Son's is good and I think they have a small truck that will do up to 7 yards.
Kynock Resources also good.
Glenn Stone also good.
I have gotten gravel, dirt, sand, multch from all of them. Used Glenn and Kynock for delivery, only ever picked up at Mike's.

Let me know what you find out. We've been thinking about getting a couple of loads for our driveway.

Call Gateway quarry. They have drivers that do flat rate delivery from Kearney Lake Rd. It'll be the closest to you.

I have access to a 2yd trailer for Saturday and will make some trips to Gateway with manual labour to fill the hole.

Next to frame a 12'x14' deck.

Make sure trailer is rated for the weight of the load. The axles on Dad's 1500lb capacity trailer don't like a yard of gravel.
