13 open listings within 25 miles of Medina right now (3 have dirt to move, 10 want dirt).
Medina has been building outward from the square for years, and every new subdivision street, basement, and pond pulls out more subsoil than the site can use. Dirtly is a free map that puts those piles next to the people a few concessions over who are trying to fill a low spot.
Medina County ground is heavy clay under a thin skin of topsoil, which is exactly why the two move separately here. Builders strip topsoil and stockpile it, then dig footings and end up with clay nobody wants; a homeowner two roads away is buying fill by the load. Brown pins have dirt, green pins want it, and the introduction is the whole product.

October is the last comfortable month for regrading and seeding before the ground gets cold, so anything needing to be moved is usually moved now rather than in November.

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.
Wherever the ground is open — a basement dig, a pond, a driveway regrade out in the townships. Crews pay to haul that clay off, so plenty of them would rather hand it to a neighbor. On Dirtly those piles show up as pins across Medina County so you can take fill nearby instead of ordering a truck.
Is Medina clay any good as fill?
For fill, yes — clay compacts and stays where you put it, which is what you want under a pad or in a low spot. It is poor for growing, so if the surface needs to support grass or a garden, plan on capping it with topsoil.
Is Dirtly free to use in Medina?
Yes — free for individuals across Medina and Medina County, no listing fee and no cut. A pin may offer the dirt free or name a price for hauling; Dirtly just makes the introduction.
