How soon can I get red clay delivered in Placida?

Do I need to be home for the red clay delivery?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.

October–May is the easier window: you want dry ground for compaction, and the truck gets better access. We deliver year-round; just avoid scheduling right after heavy summer rain.
