How many loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 25.3 tons, roughly 2 loads if the yard runs 15-ton trucks. Ask the driver to tailgate-spread it along the drive to save hours of raking.
Layers for a lasting driveway
A new driveway usually starts with a larger base stone on compacted subgrade, then a top layer that packs. Topping up an existing drive takes much less, often 2 inches. Add culverts or ditches where water crosses the drive.
Buying the stone
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. Crusher run mixes stone and stone dust, so it packs nearly solid when compacted in layers. Ask your supplier for their own tons-per-yard number, since stone source and moisture change it.
