Protecting Your San Diego Driveway
Essential tips for San Diego homeowners to prevent driveway damage
🛡️ Plywood Protection
Place 3/4" plywood boards under dumpster wheels to distribute weight evenly. Especially important for San Diego's older concrete driveways.
- • Use 4x4 foot plywood sheets minimum
- • Position under each wheel/corner
- • Prevents cracking and indentations
- • Required for asphalt driveways
📏 Weight Distribution
Understand weight limits for your San Diego home's driveway. Typical residential driveways support 10,000-12,000 lbs.
- • Empty 20-yard: ~5,000 lbs
- • Full 20-yard: ~9,000-11,000 lbs
- • Avoid overloading with heavy materials
- • Consider smaller sizes for older driveways
🚫 Avoiding Damage
Common mistakes San Diego homeowners make that can damage driveways and how to prevent them.
- • Don't drag dumpster once placed
- • Avoid placement on steep slopes
- • Keep away from sprinkler systems
- • Check for underground utilities first
🏠 HOA Compliance
Many San Diego neighborhoods have HOA restrictions. Get approval before delivery to avoid fines.
- • Submit request 48-72 hours early
- • Include project timeline and size
