Turn One Truck Into a Profitable Material Placement Business

Move gravel, sand, soil, and other bulk materials where a dump truck can’t reach.

Grit City Gravel Company Provides, builds and retrofits truck-mounted blower systems that load material into a hopper and push it through a long hose—so we or your crew can place material fast, clean, and with control, even in tight access areas.

Where We and Our Customers Use These Systems

Add new services. Take on harder access projects. Finish jobs faster.

With a truck-mounted material placement system, you can bid work that normally requires more labor, more equipment, or more access than a site can offer.

Common Job Types our Team and Equipment Provide Include:

Backfill and drainage-focused placement behind structures and retaining systems (good drainage matters in many builds).

Trenches and utility backfill where placing gravel without disturbing the surrounding area is a big win.

Under-slab or foundation fill when you need controlled placement without driving heavy equipment through tight access.

Landscape and hardscape base material placement (walkways, pads, prep areas)

Septic decommissioning fill (often requires specified fill material for safety and compliance).

Pool fill/backfill projects where backfill and compaction are key steps to avoid settling problems.

Job-specific blends (based on what your customers need)

How It Works (Simple Overview)

Performance Snapshot

This system is designed for production work—moving material through a hose so placement is steady and repeatable.

Typical performance targets:

20 to 300 ft placement range

Up to 75 wheelbarrow loads per hour

Up to 15 yards per hour

Actual output will vary by material type, moisture, hose length, and site access—but the goal is simple: move more material with less handling.
