Truck loads
Plan for about 21.2 tons with waste. On a 15-ton truck that is about 2 trips; spreading while dumping (a tailgate spread) puts the stone close to where it belongs.
Base and top layer
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. Recycled concrete aggregate compacts well and is often cheaper than quarry stone; ask for a screened product. Round up by about 10 percent for compaction and uneven ground.
