Garland is mostly a postwar and 1970s city, which means the housing stock is now old enough that the ground around it is the problem. Yards that were graded once, fifty years ago, have had half a century of settling and re-landscaping to undo the fall that used to carry water away from the slab.

The ground is Blackland clay, and around Duck Creek it gets lower and wetter. A lot of the dirt changing hands in this part of Dallas County is not construction spoil at all; it is one homeowner taking out a pool or a raised bed and another one two streets over trying to build a grade back up against a foundation. Rowlett and Sachse next door are doing more new building, so material tends to come from that direction.

Common questions

Where can I find free fill dirt in Garland?
Around here it is as often a neighbor as a contractor. Pool removals, driveway replacements, and landscape tear-outs all produce material somebody has to move, and in an older city like Garland there is a lot of that going on at any given time. Pins on Dirtly show what is available nearby without you having to spot a pile from the road.
Will adding dirt against my slab cause problems?
It can if you go too high. On expansive Garland clay you want the grade falling away from the slab, not buried up against the brick, and there is a minimum amount of foundation that is supposed to stay visible. If you are not sure how much room you have, that is worth asking a foundation contractor before the dirt arrives rather than after.
Is Dirtly free to use in Garland?
Yes. Posting is free, browsing is free, and there is no account needed just to look at what is on the map.
