Frequently Asked Questions About Fill Dirt in Cleveland

In our experience, Cleveland soil is composed of glacial till and heavy loam, with rich topsoil in urban gardens and yards. These soils hold moisture well but can be dense—amending with compost or peat improves drainage and structure for fill and planting.

We typically see fill dirt priced around $20–$26 per cubic yard, while screened or premium topsoil ranges from $40–$50 per cubic yard, including local delivery. Pricing fluctuates based on load size, site access, and distance.

Many local landscape suppliers provide fill dirt, screened topsoil, compost-enriched blends, and specialty garden mixes in bulk. Standard delivery is via 10–15 cubic yard dump trucks, with fees influenced by quantity, accessibility, and distance.

Yes, major earthmoving—such as land grading, excavation, or large fill placements—typically requires a permit from the City of Cleveland’s Building and Housing Division. Small landscaping projects with a few cubic yards of topsoil are usually exempt, but checking local requirements is wise.

In our experience, soil testing through extension services or private labs is key to understanding pH, nutrient levels, and structure. Local garden centers and suppliers sell compost, peat, sand, and mushroom compost to enhance fill dirt and native soil.

Clean fill dirt is often reused for backfilling, leveling, or landscaping. However, soil from construction sites or unknown origins should be tested. Dirt containing contaminants or debris must be taken to certified landfills or licensed recycling facilities.

Yes, but in our experience, it's important to verify the source. Free dirt may contain debris, weeds, or contaminants. If accepting dirt from construction or excavation sites, request a soil test or confirmation that it qualifies as clean fill before use.

Before delivery, we recommend clearing the area of grass, debris, and roots. Use stakes or string lines to mark boundaries and ensure access for the dump truck. Having the site graded and leveled ahead of time helps reduce spreading costs and ensures even distribution of the fill.
