Delivery
Howard | Carroll | Anne Arundel | Prince Georges | Montgomery | Baltimore
Split Loads: Only pay one delivery. It is OK to split a delivery with a neighbor as long as they are on the same street. Neighbors will pay for their loads separately and delivery charge will be split evenly. Split loads must fit on the same truck, this will be determined by the size and weight of each load. There is no minimum on the second delivery.

question? Give us a call.
Dump Truck
A dump truck will be used to deliver all materials. Materials will be dumped in a designated area. Dump trucks, especially when loaded, may leave ruts in the ground or even become stuck when off road. A fully cured driveway is the preferred dumping location in most cases. Customers who choose to have trucks leave paved surfaces assume all responsibility for towing, ground ruts, hourly rates, and any underground fixtures such as irrigation, septic tanks etc.

Customer Responsibilities
Must be home or leave bucket, cone or sign where to dump.
Payment
Prior to unloading any materials, the driver will request payment by cash or check.
Directions
A specific destination address is required. Give a detailed description of the drop site: describe any sidewalks or landscaping that will prohibit the truck from driving up directly beside the site.
Driveways/Walkways
The weight of a typical delivery truck can cause damage to concrete or stone pavement if driven over. Trucks will not drive on new pavement or asphalt. These applications take up to one year to cure, and may be damaged by the weight.Operation may also be limited on steep grades.
Overhead Concerns
When scheduling a delivery, be sure to let your salesperson know at the time of scheduling about any power lines, tree limbs, or other overhead objects that could obstruct the movement of the dump truck.
Underground Concerns
The location of septic lines, sprinkler heads, underground drains and utility lines are all important to the capabilities of the truck to drive in certain areas. The delivery truck weight could cause damage to any of these items if present. Be sure to advise your salesperson or driver of their presence.
Children/Pets
Keep pets penned up and children out of the vicinity during the delivery. Drivers are unable to see objects in their mirrors that are directly behind the truck.
Weather
Take weather conditions into consideration. If the ground is wet, it may be difficult for the truck to deliver without damaging grass or landscaping. Howard County Landscape Supply may reschedule deliveries because of weather concerns.
General
Be flexible. There are many factors that may prevent a product from being placed in a certain area. Drivers' decisions will be made on the basis of potential safety hazards and property damage. Remember that while we will do our best to satisfy your requests, our first commitment is to the safety of everyone involved.
