Dirt & Fill Hauling
Dirt Hauling Contractor in Ohio
Dirt hauling is the material logistics behind every earthmoving job: getting fill, topsoil, and stone onto a site when the earthwork does not balance, and getting spoil off it when there is more material than the site can absorb.
What It Is
The work, plainly described
Dirt hauling is the material logistics behind every earthmoving job: getting fill, topsoil, and stone onto a site when the earthwork does not balance, and getting spoil off it when there is more material than the site can absorb.
It sounds like the simplest part of a project and it is frequently the most expensive. Trucking is priced by the load and the mile, so the difference between a site that balances and one that needs three hundred yards imported can be larger than the entire grading bill.
That is why we work out the material balance during the estimate rather than discovering it mid-job. Sometimes the answer is to redesign the grade slightly and move nothing at all, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the trucking.
Who It's For
Who calls us for this
What's Involved
How the job actually runs
-
Work out the balance
We calculate what the site produces against what it needs. The cheapest yard of dirt is always the one that never gets on a truck.
-
Source the right material
Screened topsoil, structural fill, and general fill are not interchangeable. We specify what the application actually requires rather than whatever is closest.
-
Stage and place
Material is stockpiled where it will not have to be double-handled, then placed and compacted in lifts where it is going to carry load.
-
Haul out cleanly
Spoil leaves the site to a permitted destination, and we keep the access route and public road clean while the trucking runs.
Equipment Used
The machines that do this work
We own our fleet. That is why we can commit to a date and hold it.
