Check access for large trucks, note overhead obstacles, mark preferred drop areas, and confirm any property or HOA restrictions before delivery. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion, but spreading is never guaranteed so plan for equipment or help if you need full distribution. Adding delivery notes and photos at checkout helps us coordinate the right truck and minimize surprises.

Plan on ordering an extra 5-10% for flat areas and up to 10-15% for steeper or irregular sites to account for compaction and grading loss. Slopes and ruts can require more material to reach desired final elevations, so consider the finished depth you want after compaction. If you are unsure, send measurements or photos and our team can recommend a safe overage percentage.
