1.4 Tons / Yard Density
Crushed stone #57 and road bond aggregate average 2,700 to 2,800 lbs per cubic yard.
Compacted Base Layers
Driveways require 4" compacted crusher run base topped with 2" angular finish stone.
Dump Truck Capacities
Single axle (5–8 tons), tandem (12–16 tons), and tri-axle (20–22 tons) delivery planning.

Building Code & Methodology
Compaction: the invisible step that decides if your gravel work lasts
Why loose stone lies about its depth, what a plate compactor actually does, and the lift discipline.
Geotextile fabric: the $100 line that saves the stone
How stone disappears into mud, what fabric actually does, and where it is non-negotiable.
