I am getting 5 tons of modified (crushed) stone delivered via dump
truck for a patio. I already have the area excavated, so most
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.


Ever tried to fix dualie ruts? Believe me, you'd rather haul the
rock. A driver got just slightly off our driveway and had to be towed
out. We threw bags and bags of dirt at the ruts that were left, and
it made little difference. What helped was time, lots of it.
