Truck loads
With about 10 percent extra, this is 63.6 tons, roughly 5 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. 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. Recycled concrete aggregate compacts well and is often cheaper than quarry stone; ask for a screened product. Ask your supplier for their own tons-per-yard number, since stone source and moisture change it.
