Our drivers are professionals and will make the final decision on where to dump the material based on the safety of your property and the dump truck. If you request that our truck dump materials in an area that could be subject to damage, we will have you sign a Dump Agreement beforehand.

You do not need to be present for the delivery, however, to ensure proper placement of material, we highly recommend your presence. If you can not be on-site, please place an inanimate object (tarp, X marks the spot with sidewalk chalk, cones, buckets, etc.) in the area where you would like the material dumped. Keep in mind that certain factors may prevent us from placing materials in the desired location.

It’s not common that the dyed mulches will stain your driveway, but we recommend that you place a tarp down when accepting dyed mulches.
