Stone delivery with placement in mind.

Lindsley Excavating's equipment includes a stone slinger truck for aggregate-placement work. Send the material specification, quantity and placement area so we can review whether slinger delivery or another placement method fits the site.

Match the delivery method to the placement area

A stockpile in an open yard has different requirements from stone placement around foundations, beneath a planned slab or alongside a trench. Show the destination and where the truck can stand. A slinger may reduce some on-site material handling where access and reach are suitable, but suitability is checked for the actual geometry and material rather than assumed.

Material size and quantity need to be explicit

Provide the specified aggregate type, size and quantity in tons or cubic yards. Include the area and design thickness if you need help organizing the quantity request. Delivery, placement, fine grading and compaction are separate activities; identify which you need. Confirm material suitability against the project specification before ordering.

Access determines what is practical

Send gate widths, driveway condition, available turning space, overhead restrictions and the distance from the truck position to the placement area. Photos from the approach and work zone are useful. Equipment working nearby and the construction sequence also matter. We review access and the proposed placement method before committing a truck or promising a reach distance.

Coordinate loads with the crew

Identify when the site will be ready, who directs placement and whether deliveries must fit a limited work window. For multiple loads, provide staging capacity and the sequence of placement areas. If another contractor performs final leveling or testing, state that responsibility so the delivery and placement price can be compared accurately.

Project questions

Is final compaction included with stone delivery?

Only if listed in the scope. Placing aggregate does not by itself establish the required finished grade or verified compaction.

Can you sling every aggregate size?

Material and site suitability must be confirmed for the truck and the planned placement. Send the exact specification before scheduling.

How far can the stone be placed?

Reach is reviewed against the equipment, material and site layout. Send dimensions and photos; we do not promise a universal distance.
