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.

Southeast Michigan sits on the old Lake Maumee bed — heavy clay that holds water and compacts hard. Beds here almost always want compost or a garden blend worked in rather than topsoil alone, and drainage stone earns its keep.
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.
