Fill dirt in Ravenna, Ohio

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.

Common questions

Where do I find fill dirt in Ravenna, Ohio?
Fill dirt shows up in Ravenna wherever the ground gets opened — a new garage slab, a pool, a foundation, or a driveway regrade. The crew doing it would rather hand off the spoil than pay to dump it. Dirtly maps those piles so you can find fill a short drive away instead of ordering a truck.
How much fill dirt do I need to raise a low spot?
Measure the low area in feet and how deep you want to build it up in inches, then run the numbers. A rule of thumb: a 10×10 area raised 6 inches is a little under two cubic yards. Order about 15% extra, because loose fill settles once it packs down.
Can I use fill dirt to grow grass or a garden?
Not on its own. Fill dirt is subsoil — it packs down well, which is exactly what you want under a slab or a raised yard, but it grows very little. The usual move is fill to build up the level, then a few inches of topsoil on top for anything that has to grow.
Does Dirtly cost anything in Ravenna?
No. Dirtly is free for individuals across Ravenna and the rest of Portage County — no listing fee, no cut. A pin may list the dirt as free or name a price for the hauling; either way, Dirtly just makes the introduction.
