FAQs
How much soil or rock can be delivered at once?
The amount depends on the size and load capacity of the truck being used. Standard tipper trucks can usually carry between 10–15 tonnes per load, while larger tandem or semi tippers may handle up to 30 tonnes. For smaller sites with limited access, smaller loads may be used to ensure safe delivery. The volume may also vary based on material density — wet soil weighs more than dry gravel, for example.
Do I need to be home for a soil or rock delivery?
Not always, but it's helpful. If you're not available during delivery, it's important to clearly mark where the material should be placed and ensure access is clear. Leave instructions about gate codes, obstacles or sensitive surfaces. Being on-site allows you to confirm placement, avoid extra clean-up and ask questions if needed — but if everything’s pre-arranged, most haulers can deliver without issue.
What’s the best material for a rural driveway or pad base?
Crushed rock or road base is often the best choice for driveways and shed pads, as it compacts well and provides good drainage. For landscaping or top layers, gravel or decorative rock may be preferred. When prepping a base, layering different materials (like large rock at the bottom and finer gravel on top) creates a stable, long-lasting surface. Consult with a transport provider to ensure you get the right material for the job.
