Dirt in Chardon, Ohio

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.

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.

Common questions

Where does free fill dirt come from around Chardon?
Rarely from Chardon itself — the plateau is rock and clay and there is not much spare. It comes from digs closer to Cleveland and Akron: basements, sewer work, foundations. Those crews pay to haul it off, so it can be free if you can cover the trip. On Dirtly you can see where the nearest loads are before you start calling.
Will fill dirt hold on a slope up here?
Clay-heavy fill compacts well and holds better than sandy material on a grade, but anything you place on a slope wants to go in in layers and get compacted as you go. For anything holding back real weight, talk to someone who does it for a living.
Is Dirtly free to use in Chardon?
Yes — free for individuals across Chardon and Geauga 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.
