Dirt removal and grading delivery in Pinson, AL
Revised October 2026
Get rid of a pile, strip a lot, spread what you ordered, fix the grade. Delivered to Palmerdale, Turkey Creek Nature Preserve, Pinson Valley Parkway and the rest of Pinson.
Haul-off jobs in Pinson 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 Palmerdale usually runs a half day to a day of skid steer time.
Dirt removal and grading jobs in Pinson
Pinson lies among parallel southwest-northeast ridges with rock outcrops along the east-facing crests, and valleys floored by limestone and dolomite (the Ketona dolomite that is quarried toward Tarrant) under red clay and chert. Turkey Creek runs through town and floods its bottomland after heavy rain, and smaller branches keep low lots wet. Older lots in Pinson Valley have settled yards; newer subdivisions on the ridges have thin soil over rock and erosion on cut slopes.
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
Pinson Valley Parkway and the main subdivisions are easy for trucks, but many lots are on hilly county roads with long gravel drives and limited turnaround.
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.
