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.

Northern Michigan
Northern Michigan is sand and glacial gravel over a short growing season. Ground freezes deeper and thaws later than downstate, which shortens the delivery window at both ends of the year.
Northern Michigan runs a short season. Yards typically open once the frost is out — often not until late April — and the spring rush is compressed into a few weeks. Order early if you want a specific colour.
Dropping sand in Traverse City
Traverse City is a town of about 15,678, and deliveries here are longer rural drives, where the approach decides where the pile lands.
Long drives and two-tracks
Outside the built-up areas the drive itself is often the constraint — a long gravel two-track, a soft shoulder after rain, or a turning circle a loaded tri-axle cannot make. If there is a spot near the road that works better than the house, say so and the driver will use it.
