Ok, to clarify what I am doing. I need to put what is called 57's ( I
think it is 3/4" limestone) over a 1724 square foot area at least 2"
thick. How much would I need? Approx 15 ton? 20 ton?
Trying to keep 3/4 stone to a 2" thickness ill be tricky. Is that
compacted, or loose? What will 2" accomplish?
I am thinking of ordering a full truck load that holds approx. 20-26
tons of weight. If I have extra, I guess I could use it somewhere on
the gravel drive. right? Or do I need more?
I'd get the full load. It is probably only #12-15 a ton- and
you'll be paying $100+ for delivery. If you can spread it thicker,
do so- but you don't want to be a ton short. That would be an
expensive ton.
