Moving stone - need landscaping advice

Good people,

The next phase of my landscaping project will include building about 250 square feet of walkways, steps and short walls. This will require 4yards of crushed stone, 3 cubic yards of granite blocks, a few pallets of flagging stone and a few yards of sand or other fine material.

Unfortunately there really isn't any way to get the materials right up to the jobsite, nor is there a good location to store materials where they will be used.

The location where I typically dump this stuff is about 60 feet away, mostly flat with a few short inclines.

I could rent a Bobcat, but would have to have everything to go in one whack and would assume it will rip up my grass. I would also have to drive over my septic...not sure if that's a no-no.

Also thought about getting a 1/2 ton wagon. Would be easier than a wheelbarrow, wouldn't rip up the grass and I could go at my own pace.

Thoughts? Ideas? Anyone want to do physical labor for cheap

thanks,
