Spreading Decorative Stone: How to Save Time & Money

Why Spreading Decorative Stone Can Be a Time-Consuming Task

Decorative stone spreading can prove to be quite a time-consuming task. Between the hard labor required to place and rake the stones into a consistent distribution, potential size limitations on helping equipment, and the hidden costs behind all the time it takes, a decorative stone spreading bill can quickly gain in size.

Labor-intensive

Manually spreading decorative stone is a labor-intensive endeavour that is beyond the ability of a single person. Getting the stone into location, raking it evenly, and ensuring a depth of at least 2 - 4 inches throughout the entire area is a job that needs help to do in a sensible amount of time.

Equipment Limitations

What’s more, many traditional equipment like skid steers may be able to move stones, but can have major issues reaching the target area. Whether the space is too small or sensitive to handle heavier equipment, this lack of support puts more work back on manually spreading the stones.

Hidden Costs

At the end of the day, time is money. Spending more time manually spreading decorative stone affects the bottomline, even more so when you have to pay for more hands to work longer hours. Don’t let your decorative stone job get out of hand!

How a Stone Spreader Saves Time with Decorative Stone

Stone Spreaders excel in multiple ways, especially when saving time on your jobs. Here are the different ways how you’ll feel the effect of the Stone Spreader:

Faster Fill

Perhaps the Stone Spreader’s biggest claim-to-fame comes from the dramatic reductions in the time it takes to fill an area with decorative stone. Especially compared to manual labor, a stone spreader needs significantly less passes to achieve an even fill of an area. 

Easier Access in Hard-to-Reach Areas

At the same time, a stone spreader can more easily fill those hard-to-reach areas that usually require more time to finish. This easier access can significantly increase jobsite efficiency and workflow which leads to a quicker, smoother process overall.

More Jobs in a Day

Reductions in fill time paired with increased jobsite efficiency will dramatically reduce the amount of time each job takes. This creates an opportunity to finish more jobs per day which turns into increased revenue on your end. To these ends, a stone spreader easily pays for itself!

The Cost-Savings While Using the Load Launcher

Even compared to more traditional machinery for stone spreading, our stone spreader still holds a dramatic lead in efficiency. Here are the numbers between the Load Launcher and a traditional track skid steer:

Comparing Track Skid Steers to a Stone Spreader

Our Stone Spreader is incredible with its ability to precisely spread 4 yards of stone per minute. That translates to a job of 44 yards of stone being spread in only 11 minutes. A job that size, for manual labor, could take over 40 hours of hand labor. A traditional skid steer would still need 4 hours to finish the same job; the times aren’t even close!

How Fast Can it Pay for Itself?

With the dramatic reductions in job times and ability to finish more jobs in a day, the Stone Spreader quickly pays for itself. These enhanced workflow efficiencies add more revenue to your business, easily beating out other methods of stone spreading.
