DirtlyDirtlyPlain-language answers to the questions every dirt project runs into.
Fill dirt is dense subsoil that packs down and stays put — use it to build up volume, level a grade, or backfill a hole.
The cheapest way to get rid of excess dirt is to give it to someone nearby who needs fill — on a free local exchange like Dirtly, a neighbor or contractor often takes it for nothing but the hauling.
