Dirt removal and grading delivery in Trussville, AL
Revised October 2026
Get rid of a pile, strip a lot, spread what you ordered, fix the grade. Delivered to Cahaba Project, Stockton, Carrington Lakes and the rest of Trussville.
Haul-off jobs in Trussville 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 Cahaba Project usually runs a half day to a day of skid steer time.
Dirt removal and grading jobs in Trussville
Trussville sits in the upper Cahaba River valley where the river is still a creek-sized stream, flanked by chert and sandstone ridges. The valley floor near downtown and the Cahaba Project is low and floods along the Cahaba and Pinchgut Creek, while newer subdivisions off Deerfoot Parkway and Highway 11 were cut into hillsides with red clay and chert that erodes quickly once cleared. Bedrock is limestone and dolomite in the valley and sandstone on the ridges, so rock is often shallow on the higher lots.
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
Newer subdivisions are HOA-managed with narrow streets and tight cul-de-sacs; older Cahaba Project lots have alleys and mature trees, and outlying St. Clair County addresses often have long gravel drives.
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 Trussville?
Newer subdivisions are HOA-managed with narrow streets and tight cul-de-sacs; older Cahaba Project lots have alleys and mature trees, and outlying St. Clair County addresses often have long gravel drives.
