With a stone slinger, you can place materials in precise positions and reach hard-to-access areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dbVz-6glnts\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Use a Stone Slinger?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/stone-delivery-slinger-trucks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stone slingers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are versatile trucks that allow our crews to apply materials without having to drive the truck onto your lawn. Depending on the material, a slinger has an effective range of up to 100 feet. They&#x2019;re great for safely applying sand at beach areas that are experiencing erosion or filling in an old pool from a distance. The arm of a slinger truck can also deliver stone and other materials in confined areas, such as crawlspaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slingers are much faster and more efficient than using manual labor, which minimizes the disruption to your home, school, or business. The time you save by using a slinger truck also makes them a cost-effective option. Plus, using a dump truck and wheelbarrow often results in wasted material that gets lost in transit and application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superior Groundcover&#x2019;s Stone Slinger Services<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installing mulch on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/service\/playground-mulch\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">playground<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backfilling your new in-ground <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/pool-fill-backfill-for-in-ground-pools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or infilling an old one<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing a new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/crushed-concrete-101\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gravel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> driveway<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/service\/landscape-bark-mulch\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">landscaping<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> services<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/beach-sand-delivery\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beach nourishment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Erosion Control&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-weight: 400;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Erosion control&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-weight: 400;&amp;quot;&amp;gt; is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water &amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-weight: 400;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;erosion&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-weight: 400;&amp;quot;&amp;gt; in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, river banks and construction.&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/glossary\/erosion-control\/\"  target=\"_blank\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>erosion control<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encapsulating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/service\/crushed-stone\/crawl-space-encapsulation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crawlspaces<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/service\/crushed-stone\/stone-backfill\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seawalls<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorgroundcover.com\/service\/crushed-stone\/stone-backfill\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">foundation drainage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for property development<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And more<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is a Stone Slinger Truck Available Near Me?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondering if there&#x2019;s a stone slinger service near you?
