Dirt in Houston, Texas

Free fill dirt near Houston, Texas is posted by homeowners and contractors on Dirtly's map. As of October 20, 2026 there are no open listings yet and 21 supply yards within 25 miles.

Inside the 610 Loop, Houston builds up and in. Towers rise downtown and around the medical center, and in the Heights, Montrose and the East End older bungalows give way to rows of townhomes. Each job digs on a tight urban lot, often below the water table, and the spoil has to be trucked out through traffic to sites far from the center.

Downtown sits where Buffalo Bayou bends through flat, dense clay that locals call gumbo: black, sticky after rain and like brick in a drought. There is no rock to reach, just more clay and layers of sand, and groundwater close enough that deep digs have to pump. Bellaire and West University Place border the city to the southwest.

October often brings the steadiest dry stretch of the year, between the last storms and the winter rains. Subdivisions in Spring, Conroe, Pearland and League City push their grading hard while it lasts.
