Where can I find free fill dirt in Forney?

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.

Is Dirtly free to use in Forney?

Yes, free for individuals in Forney and across Kaufman County. No fee either to post or to respond.

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.
