Gravel and sand are ideal surface materials for sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping projects, but spreading loose aggregates by hand is often time-consuming and expensive. To cut those costs without sacrificing the quality of the results, consider using a stone slinger, an innovative truck-mounted tool designed to quickly and evenly spread loose materials. Below are just a few of the benefits of using one for your next paving or landscaping job.

The Advantages of Using a Stone Slinger

1. Lower Expenses

The most advanced stone slingers can be run by a single operator, instead of a large crew of laborers. Whether you’re paving a large driveway or landscaping a front yard, these machines can dramatically lower the cost of your project.

2. Faster

With these machines, a project that might otherwise take all day can be completed in a matter of hours. The speed of a stone slinger means contractors can fit more projects into their schedule, increasing profits along with client satisfaction.

3. Working in Smaller Areas

Traditionally, gravel or mulch is offloaded from a dump truck and spread by hand, but what if you don’t have the space? Stone slingers use a conveyor to deliver materials to the work site, allowing you to efficiently work in tight spaces that might not accommodate a dump truck.

4. Precise Placement

Paving a gravel garden path or sidewalk requires more precise placement than dump trucks are capable of. Rather than carrying the bags of stone by hand, a stone slinger allows you to place material exactly where you need.
