Dallas moves most of its dirt sideways rather than outward. The lots were built on decades ago, so what comes out of the ground here comes out of pool excavations, teardowns on older streets, and slabs being regraded because the yard has been pushing water at the house for twenty years.
Almost all of it is Blackland Prairie clay, which swells when it rains and shrinks when it does not. That is why foundation work never really stops in this city, and why the spoil from one job is exactly the fill somebody in the next neighborhood is paying to have trucked in. The Trinity bottoms cut through the middle of town and behave differently again, softer and wetter than the prairie on either side.
Not sure which you need? Our guide to fill dirt vs. topsoil spells out the difference.
Free dirt in Dallas comes off foundation digs, pool excavations and lots being leveled. People stuck with a pile post it, and people who can use one get in touch and agree on pickup between themselves.
Fill dirt in Dallas is mostly blackland clay, the dark soil that cracks in August and turns to gumbo after a storm. It holds up a yard but moves under a slab unless it is compacted and kept evenly wet. For a building pad, ask the poster about select fill instead.
A dirt dumpsite in Dallas means a landfill or a concrete recycler, and the city's own landfill is among the sites listed below. What each accepts and charges is in its record, and those change, so check before driving over.
Clean fill disposal in Dallas is where the map helps most: blackland clay with no debris in it is what people raising a yard or a pad are looking for. Post the load with its size and location, and let someone from Mesquite or Irving come for it before you pay to dump it.
Hauling dirt off a Dallas site and exporting it are the same problem, a pile that has to leave. Once the pile is pinned, people who need fill send a message, and between you it gets settled who brings the trucks. No one in the middle takes a fee.
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.
