FAQs About Fill Dirt in Cincinnati

In our experience, Cincinnati soils often consist of clay-loam blends and alluvial deposits from the Ohio River watershed. These heavy clay soils compact easily and retain water, so if you're reusing fill dirt locally, it’s smart to mix in amendments like compost or mushroom mix for gardening or grading purposes.

We typically see fill dirt delivered regionally for around $18–$23 per cubic yard. Screened topsoil runs about $37–$47/yd, with a local average near $42 / yd [oai_citation:0‡reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/cincinnati/comments/ua47jh/topsoil_delivery/?utm_source=chatgpt.com). These prices include basic delivery within a roughly 10-mile radius.

Local suppliers list prices like $45/yd for virgin shredded topsoil, $55/yd for garden mix, and $60/yd for a loamy ‘Terra‑Mix’ [oai_citation:1‡dirt-delivery.promatcher.com](https://dirt-delivery.promatcher.com/cost/cincinnati-oh-dirt-delivery-costs-prices.aspx?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [oai_citation:2‡hafners.com](https://www.hafners.com/cincinnati-landscaping-supplies/soil-topsoil.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com). Other sources show bulk topsoil at $32–$42/yd [oai_citation:3‡bzak.com](https://www.bzak.com/gardening-and-landscaping-soil/?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

In our experience, vendors like Hafner & Sons, Bzak Landscaping, Evans Landscaping, White Oak Gardens and Mulch Mound offer bulk soil, compost and fill. Pricing varies—E.g., Evans starts at $20–24/yd for fill dirt; White Oak’s premium shredded topsoil lists at $42/yd [oai_citation:4‡dirtcheapcincinnati.com](https://www.dirtcheapcincinnati.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

Yes, significant dirt movement—such as grading, fill placement, or excavation—generally needs a permit with the Building & Zoning department. Minor landscaping or adding several yards of topsoil typically doesn't trigger permitting.

We often recommend mixing local fill dirt with amendments like mushroom compost, leaf mold, or aged manure to improve texture and drainage. Bzak sells mushroom/topsoil blends (~$48/yd) and pine soil conditioner ~$65/yd [oai_citation:5‡bzak.com](https://www.bzak.com/gardening-and-landscaping-soil/?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

In our experience, late spring through early fall (April–October) offers the best conditions for soil delivery, grading, and planting. The winter and early spring months bring thaw and rain, which can saturate fill and delay projects.

Yes. Dirt from construction or unknown sources may contain contaminants and should be tested before reuse. Clean fill is usually fine for backfill, grading, or landscaping—contaminated dirt must go to certified disposal or recycling sites.
