Irving sits on both sides of the Elm Fork, which means the ground changes noticeably depending on which part of town you are standing in. The older neighborhoods south of Highway 183 are on prairie clay; closer to the river it turns into bottomland that drains slowly and stays soft well after the rain stops.
That split is why dirt moves around here at all. Somebody regrading a yard in south Irving ends up with heavy clay spoil, and somebody with a low bottomland lot closer to the water needs exactly that kind of material to build a pad up out of the wet. Las Colinas keeps a steady trickle of commercial site work going as well, and that dirt has to go somewhere.

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.
Site work is the usual source, and Irving has a steady amount of it between the commercial corridors and ordinary residential regrading. Crews pay by the load to dump, so a neighbor who will take it off their hands is doing them a favor. Dirtly shows those loads as pins near Irving so you can find one without calling around.
Why does my Irving yard stay wet so long after rain?
If you are near the Elm Fork you are likely on bottomland, which holds water far longer than the prairie clay further south. Fill alone does not fix that, it just raises the spot; you usually need somewhere for the water to go as well. Plenty of people here do both at once, building the grade up and giving it a fall toward a swale or a drain.
Is Dirtly free to use in Irving?
Yes, and it stays that way for individuals. No fee to post, no fee to answer a pin, and no commission on whatever you work out between you.
