Fill Dirt and Dirt Hauling, explained.
Almost every excavation produces more soil than the site can use, and almost every grading job needs material from somewhere. Moving dirt efficiently is a project of its own, with trucks, loaders, scales, staging and a place to put it.
We haul spoil off site, deliver clean fill, topsoil, gravel and select stone and spread and compact it where you want it. If you are building up a low area, raising a pad or covering a trench, we handle both the delivery and the placement.
Signs this service fits
- An excavation has soil to get rid of
- A low spot or pad needs to be built up
- A new lawn needs topsoil
- A driveway or trench needs stone or select fill
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.

How much dirt is a load?
A tandem dump truck carries a limited volume, and the real amount depends on the truck and the material. Our volume tool turns trench or pit size into approximate cubic yards.
Can you take my excess soil?
Usually yes. We can haul it off or use it elsewhere on the property, depending on quality and plans.
What fill is acceptable under a slab or driveway?
Clean, compactable fill or stone, placed in lifts. The foundation designer or engineer usually specifies it.
