The math

  1. Area: 9,000.0 sq ft.
  2. Depth in feet: 4 ÷ 12 = 0.333 ft.
  3. Cubic yards: 9,000.0 × 0.333 ÷ 27 = 111.11 yd³.
  4. Tons: × about 1.3 tons per yard = 144.4 tons.

Truck loads

Plan for about 158.9 tons with waste. On a 15-ton truck that is about 11 trips; spreading while dumping (a tailgate spread) puts the stone close to where it belongs.

Base and top layer

If this is a new driveway on soil, build a base of 4 to 6 inches of coarse stone first and finish with a packable surface stone. For a refresh, 2 inches over the old surface is common. Long drives benefit from a crown so water runs to the edges.

Ordering and delivery

Most quarries and landscape yards deliver by the ton; ask whether there is a minimum and a delivery fee, and where the driver can dump without damaging your lawn. Asphalt millings bind into a fairly firm surface when compacted and warmed by the sun. The scale ticket is the real weight; tons per yard here is a planning figure.
