Dirt removal and grading delivery in Pell City, AL
Revised October 2026
Get rid of a pile, strip a lot, spread what you ordered, fix the grade. Delivered to Cropwell, Eden, Seddon and the rest of Pell City.
Haul-off jobs in Pell City 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 Cropwell usually runs a half day to a day of skid steer time.
Dirt removal and grading jobs in Pell City
Pell City sits on the Coosa River where it was dammed to form Logan Martin Lake in 1964, so a large share of properties are lakefront or near-lake lots with soft, eroding shoreline soil and steep banks. Away from the water the land is rolling red clay over shale and limestone with chert ridges to the north. Lake-level fluctuations and heavy rain leave low lots saturated, and many waterfront homes need fill for seawall backfill, eroded banks and sunken yards.
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.

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.
