15 open listings within 25 miles of Brecksville right now (6 have dirt to move, 9 want dirt).
Brecksville is big lots and steep ravines wrapped around the Cuyahoga Valley, and dirt here tends to move because of water rather than construction. Dirtly is a free map for the piles that come out of that work and the low spots waiting on them.
Properties backing onto the valley deal with runoff, washouts, and slopes that want to keep moving downhill. Regrading is common, and so is a pool or an addition on the flatter parcels. What comes out of those digs is fill somebody a few streets over would take gladly rather than watch it ride to a dump on the far side of the county.
Not sure which you need? Our guide to fill dirt vs. topsoil spells out the difference.
October is the last comfortable month for regrading and seeding before the ground gets cold, so anything needing to be moved is usually moved now rather than in November.

What dirt actually costs
In Northeast Ohio, a delivered tandem load of fill dirt typically runs $150–$400. Screened topsoil costs more per yard, $20–$40. Delivery alone is usually $50–$150 per trip, which is why free dirt from a neighbor still isn’t free.

Work out the yards first
The calculator turns your length, width, and depth into a rough cubic-yard number — and reminds you to add a little for settling.
Pool digs and additions are the usual sources, plus any regrade that has to cut before it fills. Those crews pay by the load to dump, so handing clean fill to a neighbor is often the cheaper option for them. Dirtly puts the piles on a map so the two sides can find each other.
Do I need a permit to bring in fill?
It depends on how much, and on whether you are near a slope, a stream, or a floodplain — all of which Brecksville has. For a few yards levelling a yard, generally not; for meaningful regrading or anything near a watercourse, call the city first. Dirtly does not handle permits and would not pretend to.
Is Dirtly free to use in Brecksville?
Yes — free for individuals across Brecksville and Cuyahoga County, no listing fee and no cut. A pin may offer the dirt free or name a price for hauling; Dirtly just makes the introduction.
