In West Mississippi, crusher run (also called crusher fines or dense graded aggregate) and crushed limestone are often the most affordable, durable options for driveways. Crusher run compacts well and provides a stable surface at a lower cost than decorative stone; use a coarser crushed stone (3/4u0022) or #57 on top if you want better drainage and a finished look.

A 7'x14' dump trailer’s cubic yard capacity depends on sidewall height; a conservative estimate is 4 to 7 cubic yards depending on how high you load it. To estimate weight, multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (so 4 yd3 ≈ 5.6 tons, 7 yd3 ≈ 9.8 tons). Always check the trailer’s rated payload and local road weight limits before loading and account for compaction when estimating how much material you need to move.

For the best balance, many Houston homeowners choose a compactable base like crusher run or 21A for the foundation and a 3/4u0022 crushed limestone or #57 stone as the surface layer. Crusher run is affordable and locks together under compaction while #57 gives better drainage and a cleaner finished look.
