FAQ’s about delivery…

Can you dump on my driveway?

Yes, we can. We can also simply dump on the apron of the drive if you prefer. Generally speaking, we pull on thousands of driveways per year with no complications. Rarely, a driveway has cracked. Our trucks weigh at least 10,000 pounds empty. Depending on what you are ordering, a fully loaded truck could weigh over 30,000 pounds. The construction of your drive is the main factor in determining if it can hold that kind of weight. We cannot be responsible for any driveway damage due to delivering material as instructed by you.

Can you dump where I want?

Yes and no. We try to dump your bulk material where you’d like it. However, we cannot pull off of a paved or gravel driveway onto your lawn. Our trucks are heavy and not designed to operate off-road.

We also cannot dump on or drive over property that you do not own, i.e. city sidewalks, your neighbor’s driveway, without written permission from the owner of the property.

Can I have more than one material delivered at the same time?

Sorry, no. There are no dividers in the dump truck beds and the act of the bed raising to an almost vertical position causes all the material in the bed of the dump to mix.

What if I don’t care if they mix a little?

Unfortunately, they will mix more than a little. As much as we try to accommodate everyone, we know from experience that if you ask us to bring you mulch and topsoil in the same load, that what you will end up with is a mess.

Can I split a load of mulch with my neighbor?

When orders are being shared, there is an additional $5.00 charge to dump in more than one spot. It is impossible for the driver to judge how much material is coming out, therefore there is no guarantee whatsoever that the amount of material in each spot would be the amount desired. Dumping in more than one place should be seen as a bit of assistance so there isn’t as much wheelbarrowing going on, but not as a means to fairly divide a load. Also, there can only be two dump locations.

The additional dump-spot charge of $5.00 is non-refundable once the delivery is made. Our drivers try their best to make your job easier, but there is no way to ensure a proper division.

    Could you please tell me the cost of delivering 2 yards of topsoil to rocky river? How much if I pick it up? Thank you in advance of your reply

    Our topsoil is $30 per cubic yard and delivery to Rocky River is $36.00. Our minimum for delivery to Rocky River is 2 yards and we can get up to 15 yards in a truck. So, for 2 cubic yards delivered to Rocky River it would cost $96 plus tax. If you would like to pick it up, just subtract the delivery charge. Thanks for visiting our site and please let us know if you have any other questions!

    For a Saturday delivery …how far in advance do I need to make arrangements?

  • http://www.therockpile.com therockpile

    The lead time needed for a Saturday delivery depends a lot on the weather and the time of year. If you are nearby, we can often deliver the same day or the next day. If you would like your delivery Saturday morning, it is best to schedule it by Tuesday or Wednesday, just to be safe. Also, the closer it is to Memorial Day weekend, the busier our delivery schedule gets. Generally speaking, we deliver only to nearby cities on the weekends. Hope this helps!

    If we place orders for multiple neighbors for black double shredded mulch is there any discount…otherwise how much is it per yard and what is the delivery charge

  • http://www.therockpile.com therockpile

    We can deliver up to 15 cubic yards in a truck and the delivery charge depends on the city it is going to. For instance, Avon, Avon Lake, Bay Village and Westlake are all a $33.00 delivery charge.

    When orders are being shared, there is an additional $5.00 charge to dump in more than one spot. It is impossible for the driver to judge how much material is coming out, therefore there is no guarantee whatsoever that the amount of material in each spot would be the amount desired.

  • http://www.therockpile.com therockpile

    You state that your drivers won’t drive over city sidewalks. Aren’t most driveways and their aprons bisected by sidewalks? Not trying to be difficult, just looking for some clarification.

  • http://www.therockpile.com therockpile

    Good point! We will pull past the sidewalk, however, any damage to the sidewalk (which is very rare) is not our responsibility. We cannot drive over the tree lawn because of the damage that could be done to the curb and because we have a high risk of sinking.
