Forney has been absorbing growth pushing east out of Dallas County, and the subdivisions going in here are being cut out of what was farm and pasture ground a few years ago. That produces subsoil steadily and in quantity.
The ground is Blackland clay, dense and slow to take water, with Mustang Creek and its branches setting the low lines through the area. Because the town is growing quickly while a lot of surrounding land is still rural, there is an unusual mix here: builders with spoil to move and landowners a mile away with pasture low spots, pond banks, and pad sites that could use it.
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.
The new sections going in around town are the most reliable source, and the volumes are large because the sites are. Builders pay to haul spoil away, so nearby landowners who want it are doing them a favor. Dirtly puts those loads on the map so the two sides can find each other directly.
Is this clay any good for a pond or a low spot?
Clay is generally the material people want for holding water, because it packs tight and does not let it through easily. That makes Blackland spoil useful around here for pond work and for filling wet low ground. What matters is that it goes in reasonably dry and gets compacted rather than simply dumped.
