Delivered dirt commonly runs $150–$400 a dump-truck load ($5–$50 per cubic yard plus delivery), and hauling extra away can run from a few hundred dollars for a short local dump run up to $1,400–$2,300 for full-service removal. On Dirtly, the dirt itself is usually free or cheap — you’re only solving the moving. You can size up your project first to see how many yards it takes.

1 open listing within 25 miles of Chardon right now (1 has dirt to move).
Chardon sits up on the Geauga plateau in the snowbelt, and the ground here takes a beating: frost heave, spring runoff, and long drives that wash out every year. Fixing that takes material the plateau does not supply itself, so Dirtly is a free map showing where the nearest loads actually are.
Most of the dirt that gets used up here comes from somewhere else. The plateau is rock and clay and there is rarely spare material sitting on a property, so filling a washout or building up a pad usually means finding a load — and the digs that produce fill are mostly downhill and westward, inside the beltway. That is a twenty to forty mile haul, which is the real cost. Post what you need with a pin and let the people with a pile see it.
