Dirt removal and grading delivery in McCalla, AL
Revised October 2026
Get rid of a pile, strip a lot, spread what you ordered, fix the grade. Delivered to Tannehill, Eastern Valley Road corridor, Old Tuscaloosa Highway and the rest of McCalla.
Haul-off jobs in McCalla are pool digs, footing spoil, and lots that were graded toward the house instead of away from it. Clean clay is cheap to get rid of because other jobs want it as fill. Dirt mixed with roots, stumps or concrete costs more. A regrade around Tannehill usually runs a half day to a day of skid steer time.
Dirt removal and grading jobs in McCalla
McCalla is unincorporated rolling country at the southwestern tail of the Appalachians, where the Cahaba coal field and the Valley and Ridge give way to lower hills. Soils are red clay and sandy clay over sandstone and shale, with chert on the ridges, and Mud Creek, Mill Creek and the headwaters near Tannehill drain low, wet bottoms. Large new subdivisions near I-459 and I-20/59 are built on cleared timberland and graded clay, while older acreage lots are on undisturbed ground; old coal and iron workings are likely in places.
What it is for
- Hauling off the spoil from a pool, basement or footing dig
- Stripping and removing an old lawn or a bad layer of fill
- Spreading and leveling delivered dirt
- Regrading a yard so water runs away from the house
This is not junk removal. Dirt mixed with construction debris, concrete or trash is a different job and a different price; say what is in the pile.
Getting the truck in
Mostly rural: long gravel or dirt driveways, acreage lots and county roads, plus a few large new HOA subdivisions near the interstates.
Questions people ask
How much does it cost to haul off dirt?
Around Birmingham, $150 to $500 per truckload including loading, depending on access and whether the dirt is clean. A pool dig is usually three to six loads.
Can I get rid of dirt for free?
Sometimes. Clean clay fill is wanted by people building pads, and a hauler who has a job nearby may take it cheap. It still costs money to load and haul. Dirt with roots or debris in it is never free.
Can a dump truck reach my spot in McCalla?
