I am getting 5 tons of modified (crushed) stone delivered via dump

convenient would be for the truck to dump right in the hole...but
would require driving over the rest of the lawn to get there. It's
a small(er) truck, but I still wonder if it is going to destroy the
lawn, especially since it rained hard last night. Any suggestions?
I really don't feel like transporting 5 tons of stone by myself if I
don't have to.

Thanks,
Hi,
Use plywood sheets. I did that when drilling rig for water well came
over my yard out at my cabin. it helped minimize tire ruts.

Since the plywood will be cracked, bent and otherwise useless afterwards,
that can be quite an expensive method at todays plywood prices, even if the
driver can keep on the sheets.
