Does anyone have an approximate price for Leca balls in "bulk", meaning when the balls are blown?

We need to fill up behind our hillside house when it's finished, and it's a bit tight to get an excavator in, so Leca balls might be an alternative if the price is reasonable.

Is there anything, by the way, that speaks against filling up against a house with Leca balls?
 
I have the same problem but also a mountain. I'm running the 1800s model with a cart, 60 pieces today at 110 liters each, but it does make you strong.

Isn't it possible to get a Bobcat in? They usually can get in here and there.

Are you going to fill against the house structure or just on the lot?
 
Does anyone know how much it costs to buy loose leca balls in bulk? I would like to backfill the basement wall with LECA instead of regular stones/gravel/soil. Any opinions?
 
A very good idea.
Since leca is excellent in terms of drainage.

We often use leca when we refill against newly cast walls at work. It is also good to pour concrete on if you place a ground cloth between the leca and the reinforcement.

To the question, I googled a bit and found, among others, this page: http://www.alltimark.se/Category.aspx?mode=1&hid=17&id=34
 
Thank you for the answer and the tip... it might be a bit expensive because it probably takes quite a few m3, right? How much do you estimate is needed per m2 of wall area?
 
Oh, it depends on how much you've excavated for the wall, and how much needs to be refilled.
I personally have no idea how much it usually costs, I just work, and the people at the office handle the rest :)
We usually buy directly from Leca, They come with a container truck and a hose. And then pump/blow it on site. But that might be overkill for you?
But try calling them and asking, you might get a better price if you buy a lot?
