Covers gravel, delivery, and 3.2 crew-hours of install while protecting 30% margin ($252 gross profit).
Gravel compacts. Plan for roughly 20% compaction on a driveway base, which is why the waste allowance defaults higher than a decorative install. One cubic yard weighs about 2,400–2,900 lbs depending on stone size and moisture, so check trailer and delivery-truck capacity before you order.
Turn this into a branded quote, then schedule the crew and invoice on completion — without re-typing a single number.
