What hours do you deliver?
Delivery is available Monday through Friday from 7am to 4pm, Saturday 7 am to 12 pm.
How far will you deliver?
Our delivery area reaches all of Central New York and then some!
What type of stone do I use for drainage?
From most drainage applications, #1 Crushed or #2 Crushed stone is recommended. #1 Crushed stone is approximately ½” and #2 Crushed stone is approximately 1”.
What type of stone do I use for my driveway?
Dense Graded Base (DGB), also known as Crusher Run or Driveway Mix, is best for driveway applications. It is a crushed stone mixed with stone dust which enables it to compact nicely for driveway usage.
Can your trucks spread the material for me as they dump it?
Under ideal circumstances, material can be spread to a certain degree. Factors that prohibit material from being spread are overhead wires, tree limbs and length and/or grade of the driveway. Since every situation is unique, the driver will determine the amount of material that can be spread, if any. In any case, you are still left with a pile or piles from 1 to 3 feet high.
How much notice do you need to deliver?
Generally, a day’s notice is advisable to book a truck for you.
Does someone need to be there when you deliver?
To protect your interests, we require someone at the site to acknowledge delivery.
Can I pay the driver?
Yes, the driver will have your receipt ready for you. We will gladly give you the total upon taking your order so there are no surprises. We accept cash or check as payment.
Are you open Saturday/Sunday?
We load and deliver materials on Saturdays from 7 am to 12 pm. Sundays and nights are seasonal snow removal operations only.
What is the cheapest material to use for fill?
The cheapest material to use for fill would be our Bank Run Sand. This is sand directly out of our pit. This is good for filling in future lawn areas as well as building backfill.
Can I pick up material?
Material can be loaded into a pickup truck or trailer. As a bucket loader is used we cannot load into pickups with caps or vans. All trailers must have 13” or larger tires.
Are credit/ATM cards accepted?
At this time we do not accept credit or debit cards as payment for services.
Can my delivery be dropped off in my back yard/side of my house?
Due to insurance regulations, our trucks are no longer allowed to continue off from an established driveway. An established driveway is either the main driveway for the property, or one that is hard packed and occasionally used to access the rear or side area. In all cases when a delivery is made, it is the driver’s decision whether to drive off from the main driveway. This is a call that can only be made once the truck arrives at your site.
Will my order be delivered in one of those big trucks I see all the time?
Yes. The truck does not have to be FULL to make a delivery. However, we utilize the tri-axle dump trucks because they have more wheels on the ground, when loaded, which spreads out the total weight. This results in less stress for your driveway and the roads.
What width do I need to have in order to get one of your trucks through my gate?
Our trucks must have a minimum of 13’ side to side clearance, to leave room for maneuverability.
How high is the truck box going to go in the air?
Our trucks require 11’ of height to drive down the road. However, when dumping at your site, there can be nothing overhead as the dump box pivots from the rearmost axle of the truck, resulting in the box being over 20’in the air.
How do I get an estimate for excavation and/or utility installation at a new property?
Estimates for new property development generally start with a visit to the site, and a review of plans/blueprints showing what is to be installed where, and listing any other requirements as your city/town/village may require.
Do you plow/salt residential driveways in the winter?
We do not service residential driveways in the winter as our snow equipment is too large for standard driveways.
What do I mix with topsoil for a garden?
Screened sand is excellent to aid drainage in a garden. Be sure to have at least 8” of topsoil for the garden.
