Ideal Placement Locations

Best Options 1. **Flat section of driveway** 2. **Near garage/work area** 3. **Away from landscaping** 4. **Clear of utilities**

Avoid Placing Near - Overhead power lines - Low-hanging branches - Sprinkler heads - Gas meters

Driveway Surface Considerations

Concrete Driveways - Most durable option - Use protection boards - Avoid dragging items

Asphalt Driveways - More prone to marks in heat - Protection boards essential - Schedule delivery for cooler hours in summer

Paver Driveways - Protection boards prevent shifting - Consider adding plywood layer - Let us know in advance

Additional Protection Tips

2. **Water asphalt** before hot-day delivery (cools surface)
