8 open listings within 25 miles of Chesterland right now (5 have dirt to move, 3 want dirt).
Chesterland is wooded and hilly, and lots carved out of tree cover keep needing ground put back: stump holes, settled drives, slopes that shed water the wrong way. Around here the want-ads outnumber the have-ads, and Dirtly is a free map that shows where the fill actually is.
Wooded ground does not give up much usable fill. Pull a stump and you get a crater and a root ball, not a pile you can spread. So most Chesterland projects import, and the material comes from wherever the ground is being opened at scale — which is west of here. Knowing which load is closest is most of the job, and that is what a pin on a map is for.
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.
Is dirt from a Chesterland dig usable in a garden?
Usually not on its own, and there is usually not much of it. What comes out of a footing here is subsoil with rock in it — fine for filling, useless for growing. Most Chesterland projects end up bringing material in rather than moving it around the property, and for beds and lawns you want screened topsoil, which is a separate listing type on the map.
How do I move a few yards without a dump truck?
A full-size pickup carries roughly two cubic yards, so a small job is one or two trips. Listings say who is doing the loading: some posters have a machine on site and can load you, others need you to bring your own way to load and haul.
Is Dirtly free to use in Chesterland?
Yes — free for individuals across Chesterland 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.
