Delivered fill dirt commonly runs $150–$400 a dump-truck load ($5–$50 per cubic yard plus delivery), and hauling extra dirt away can cost from a few hundred dollars for a short local dump run to $1,400–$2,300 for full-service removal. On Dirtly, the dirt itself is usually free or cheap — you’re only solving the moving. It’s a free map that pairs Ravenna neighbors who have fill with those who need it — for regrading, low spots, and backfill.

If part of your yard in Ravenna holds water, sits below the driveway, or needs building up before a shed or patio, fill dirt is what you're after. It's the dense subsoil that packs down and stays put — not the stuff you plant in, but exactly the stuff you want under a slab or behind a retaining wall.
The good news is that Ravenna produces plenty of it. Every foundation, pool, and driveway dig around Portage County pulls out subsoil the crew has to pay to haul away. Dirtly puts those piles on a map next to the people who need them, so the dirt moves down the street instead of to a dump. Brown pins have fill; green pins want it.
Before you message anyone, the calculator turns your length, width, and depth into a rough cubic-yard number — and reminds you to add a little for settling.
