We can do next day and same day deliveries depending on our schedule. Spring and early summer is a very busy time for us. To ensure you get the materials when you need them, please order a few days to a week in advance. Please call earlier to schedule deliveries during the months of April, May, and June.
We do not offer free delivery. Our delivery rates start at $45 and go up depending on how far we need to travel. If you want to avoid the delivery fee, you are more than welcome to stop in and pick up the materials with your own truck or trailer.
At this time, we can only deliver one type of material per delivery. More than one product requires multiple deliveries.
Rain does affect the color of your dyed mulch/chips. If it looks like rain, consider waiting. The dye can leach color from your mulch and stain your driveway. The dye will come up with soap/water and a good bristle brush. Crossroads Property Services is not responsible for washed out bark or dying of your driveway. We recommend using a tarp when using dyed products and for all products to make clean up easier.
When placing your order our friendly and knowledgeable staff will ask you some questions to ensure you are getting the correct material, proper amount of material (based on sq. feet given by client) and that it is being dumped in the correct location. A tarp laid out helps mark the spot.

In order to drop material from a truck a minimum clearance of 20’ is necessary to stay safe from power lines, tree branches and/or any other overhead obstacles. The delivery driver has to right to refuse any delivery he/she deems to be unsafe for the operator, equipment and/or the property. If the driver deems the first site unsafe, the driver will assess the property to see if there is a better location for the dump.

Other arrangements for the dump location and product delivery will need to be made by Crossroads Property Services. *Future delivery charges will apply.
Delivery Policy
Our trucks are prohibited from driving on undeveloped or unimproved surfaces, over curbs or on sidewalks. This is to prevent damage of property for both client and business. If the customer does request and directs any truck or trailer owned by Crossroads Property Services to dump in a location other than paved or aggregate covered surface, the client must sign a waiver stating Crossroads Property Services is not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages that could occur from the truck, trailer, or delivery of material before the dump can be made. If a delivery driver has proper signatures and has been instructed to dump in a location that has not been deemed an improved surface and becomes stuck. The client will be held responsible for the full cost of the tow and a charge of $65 per hour from the time the truck got stuck until the truck is removed from the site.
