Quantity
Sand is sold by the ton.
Aggregate is dense enough that weight fills the truck before volume does — a loaded tri-axle runs out of axle rating long before it runs out of space. Measure the area in cubic yards the usual way, and we convert to tons at the material’s own density.

Mid-Michigan
Mid-Michigan is flat glacial till with pockets of heavy clay. Drainage is the recurring problem, which is why 6A washed stone and Class II sand show up in so many orders here next to the topsoil.
Southern Michigan yards generally load from early spring through hard freeze. The spring rush runs late April into June and is when lead times stretch; autumn is the quietest, easiest time to get a next-day drop.

Driveways and turf
A suburban drive usually takes a full load without trouble. The thing to watch is what is beside it: a loaded truck backing onto soft turf leaves ruts that outlast the mulch. Tell us where the hard standing ends and the driver keeps to it.
