Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle), and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and add delivery notes for access instructions.

Spring and fall are generally the best times for deliveries and installations because ground conditions are milder and access is easier. Avoid delivery when the ground is frozen or during heavy rains that can make sites muddy or block truck access, and schedule ahead for busy seasons. If you need material in winter, plan for possible delays and check road access with our team.

Dump trucks can place material close to the delivery point but heavy truck size and site access limit how precisely they can position loads. Add clear delivery notes at checkout and remove obstacles like low-hanging wires or narrow gates; drivers will assess whether tailgate spreading or closer placement is safe when they arrive. We cannot guarantee exact placement, so plan for some moving or spreading after delivery.

Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may not exactly match photos or samples.
