Quantity
Stone 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.

Metro Detroit
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.
Dropping stone in Detroit
Detroit is a town of about 639,111, and deliveries here are mostly short city driveways, where access matters more than volume.
City streets and short drives
Older city lots often have a short driveway, a narrow apron or an alley behind. A tri-axle needs a straight run and cannot reverse far around a parked car, so tell us in the drop instructions if the only approach is tight — the yard can usually send a smaller truck instead, and it is far better to know before the driver arrives.
