Burleson has been growing south out of Fort Worth for years, and new neighborhoods are still being cut into rolling ground on the edges of town. Sloping sites mean more cut and fill than a flat lot would need, and that produces material that has to go somewhere.
This is transitional ground, near where the prairie clay gives way to the sandier Cross Timbers soil that runs west of here, so what comes out of a site varies more than it does out east. Village Creek drains the area. Because the terrain rolls, a lot of the local demand is for building pads up and holding slopes rather than simply filling flat low spots.
Not sure which you need? Our guide to fill dirt vs. topsoil spells out the difference.
October is prime season in North Texas, with pool digs, pad prep and regrading all running at once and the weather cooperating with all three.

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.
Active subdivision work on the edges of town is the main source, and on rolling ground there tends to be more of it than on flat sites. Builders pay to move what they cannot place, so nearby takers are welcome. Dirtly shows those piles as pins so you can find one close enough to be worth the trip.
Is the ground here clay or sand?
It depends which side of town you are on, because this is roughly where the two meet. East and south tends toward prairie clay; west runs into sandier Cross Timbers ground. Ask what a load actually is before it arrives, since around Burleson the honest answer genuinely varies from site to site.
