5 open listings within 25 miles of Arlington right now (5 have dirt to move).

Arlington filled in between two cities rather than growing out from a square, so its neighborhoods were built in waves and the ground has been worked over more than once. Most of the dirt moving here now comes from replacing what earlier decades put in: pools, patios, drives, and yards that were graded for a house that has since been added onto.

This is the eastern edge of Tarrant County, which puts it back on Blackland clay rather than the sandier ground further west. Village Creek runs through the middle of it and the lower parts of those watersheds stay soft. A load of clay spoil from one side of town is often precisely what somebody near the creek needs to get a low spot up out of the wet.

Common questions

Where can I find free fill dirt in Arlington?
Residential excavation, mostly. In a city this built out, the dirt that changes hands tends to come from pools, drives, and additions rather than raw site work. Those crews are paying to dispose of it, so handing it to a neighbor suits them. Dirtly is where those loads get listed so you can find one nearby.
Does Arlington clay move enough to matter?
Yes, this is expansive Blackland clay and it does move with the seasons. For filling a low spot that is fine and even helpful, since it packs and stays where you put it. Close to a foundation it needs more thought, particularly about where the water ends up once the grade changes.
Is Dirtly free to use in Arlington?
Yes. Free to post, free to browse, free for individuals permanently. The map is the product and there is nothing behind a paywall.
