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

Residential

Property owners needing topsoil brought in for a lawn, fill for a low area or old pool, or excavation spoil taken away after a foundation or pond dig.

Commercial

Builders and site contractors managing cut and fill across a development, importing structural fill, or clearing spoil from active excavation.

What's Involved

How the job actually runs

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
