Thank you again for all the replies. The neighbor said that she
doesn't really care too much about her lawn (if you can believe
that). And I said that I would work my best to fix any damage, should
any occur. Perhaps I will double up the plywood to 1" thick and see
what happens. Moving the plywood several times is going to be a hell
of a lot easier than moving 5 tons of crushed stone via wheelbarrow.
And afterwards, I don't care about the plywood at all - I bought it
pretty much to sacrifice. Another bonus is that I have 2 pallets of
concrete pavers coming in before the stone - and they use a heavy duty
forklift - so I can see how that fares before increasing the weight to
a full truck. thx...I'll let you know how it turns out. Jus curious
- anyone know approx how many wheelbarrow trips it would take to move
5 tons of crushed stone anyway?

I'd be nervous about the truck right after rain and, especially crossing
the neighbor's property. Have you checked with the delivery service,
since they drive the truck? They might carry 2" lumber for the express
purpose. Crossing any septic systems or other costly stuff?
