Provide a clear drop zone, take photos, and add access notes at checkout so the driver and hauler can plan. If access is limited, we may coordinate a smaller truck or alternative drop point, which can affect price and timing.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and practicality upon arrival. For precise grading or finished surfaces, consider hiring a contractor for full installation.
