What Is A Stone Slinger?

A stone slinger is a type of specialized truck used in the construction and landscaping industries for precise material placement. It is equipped with a conveyor belt system that enables it to distribute aggregates such as gravel, sand, soil, or mulch to specific locations on a job site. This functionality allows for efficient and accurate material delivery, even in hard-to-reach or uneven areas.

Key Features of a Slinger Truck:

Conveyor System: The truck is fitted with a high-speed conveyor belt, which can pivot and extend to direct materials where needed.
Versatility: Stone slingers can handle a variety of materials, including stone, gravel, sand, topsoil, and mulch.
Efficiency: By reducing the need for manual labour and heavy machinery like loaders or excavators, stone slingers can significantly speed up the material spreading process.

  Absolutely recommend Drew and his crew. Called out this morning with an urgent block and he was able to come by and help out right away. Knows his stuff and definitely taught us a few things we needed to know about our septic system. We'll definitely be calling him again for maintenance and work! Thanks again Drew and Jordan :)

  We had a septic emergency and Drew managed to fit us in for an urgent pumpout on the same day while returning from another job, so that we could keep our water running!

After that, Drew and his lads carried out some much needed maintenance and repair on the system. The quote was reasonable, and the guys were tidy, prompt and polite. Drew even knocked a chunk off the emergency bill in light of the follow-on maintenance work, which I thought was very gracious.

I'll be using them for all our septic needs going forward, which is probably the best recommendation that I can give.

  Basement flooded end of February; suspected it was my perimeter drains. After calling a few places who were either a few weeks out or charging an exorbitant amount of money just to assess, I called Drew at Peninsula Sewer. He was a straight shooter and came out on his own time that day and met me to walk around my place. The recommendation was an entire perimeter drain replacement, but was willing to work with me for a partial replacement. Unfortunately, rest of my drains were in terrible shape (broken, missing pieces etc.) so I went with full replacement. Drew's team was unbelievable! They finished in 5 days. Yes, 5 days! His guys worked non-stop and made sure the drains were finished in time before another torrential downpour. Drew was very kind and professional and his communication was excellent and responded quickly to me when I had questions etc. I would highly recommend!

  Drew and his team are all fantastic. Easy to communicate with, polite, and fast. We used SPS&D for our septic pump-out at our previous home. We were very happy with how quickly they came to do the work, not only did they do the work fast, they found a problem with a sensor and sent someone back same day to fix it. So when we moved into a new house that needed a whole new septic system and a drain tile, we knew who to call.

Drew is personable and generous with his time, he is informative and can think outside the box in complex problem that need solving. Our septic system works perfect and was completed fast. A member of the team (Brian) took a lot of time with us to plan out the location of the field where we would be happy with it, we really appreciated that. Our drain tile was complex, being on a flood plain, Drew made sure to come back and help us when some stuff went haywire with all the rain this year.

All in all, the Saanich Peninsula Sewer and Drain team are efficient, responsive, and just generally likeable dudes (which is really nice as a home owner calling for help).

Highly recommend.

  Drew is such a nice and professional guy. He lent us his pump to help keep water out of our crawl space while we figured out our plan of action. He will be the first one I call on if I ever have issues in the future.

What is a stone slinger truck and how does it work?

It’s a specialized vehicle equipped with a conveyor system that can accurately place aggregate materials like gravel, sand, or decorative rock at distances up to 100 feet from the truck. The system uses a high-speed conveyor belt to “sling” materials precisely where needed, eliminating the need for wheelbarrows or manual spreading.

What types of projects is it best suited for?

They excel at projects requiring aggregate placement in hard-to-reach areas such as backyard landscaping, narrow driveways, behind retaining walls, or areas with limited access. They’re ideal for spreading base materials for patios, pathways, drainage systems, French drains, and decorative rock installations.

How much material can a stone slinger truck deliver and spread?

A truck can carry 16 cubic yards of material per load, and can spread materials at rates of up to 50 cubic yards per hour, greatly reducing project completion times compared to traditional manual methods.

What materials can be delivered?

The truck can handle various aggregates including drain rock, clear crush, road base, sand, pea gravel, mulch, decorative rocks, and other landscaping materials ranging from fine sand to 3-inch minus rock.

How does it compare to traditional delivery methods regarding cost and efficiency?

Compared to manual spreading, stone slinger services typically cut labour costs by 50-75%. Although their hourly rate might exceed that of dump truck delivery, the precise placement negates the need for extra labour to move materials, lowers material waste, and significantly speeds up project completion. This makes it a more economical choice for the majority of applications.
