8 open listings within 25 miles of Stow right now (4 have dirt to move, 4 want dirt).

Stow is suburban in the straightforward way — houses with real yards, garages going up, patios going in, pools going down. Every one of those jobs turns out dirt somebody has to move, and on this board Stow posts are almost all people with a pile rather than people looking for one. Dirtly is a free map that gets it to whoever needs it.

Nothing dramatic moves dirt in Stow; ordinary projects do, and they produce more than they consume. A garage slab, a paver patio, a drain run, a pool — each leaves a heap that has to go somewhere, and paying to dump clean fill is the default only because the alternative is invisible. The towns that want this material are mostly east and south, twenty to forty minutes out. A pin makes that trip findable.

Common questions

What is the difference between fill dirt and topsoil?
Topsoil is the dark upper layer with organic matter in it — that is what grows things. Fill dirt is the subsoil underneath: denser, cleaner of roots, and it holds a level once compacted. Use fill to raise ground, topsoil to plant in.
Who does the hauling?
Whatever the two of you agree, and on the Stow side it is usually worth offering to load. Listings say up front — some posters have a machine and can load your truck, some need you to bring your own way to load, and some will run it over if you are close. Dirtly makes the introduction and stays out of the rest.
Is Dirtly free to use in Stow?
Yes — free for individuals across Stow and Summit 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.
