What Dirt Cheap Hauling & Services, Inc. supplies

Excavating outfits frequently sell and haul fill dirt, topsoil and aggregate alongside their site work. For larger volumes they are often cheaper than a retail yard because they are already running trucks.

Clean fill, structural fill and screened topsoil are distinct products at very different prices. Be explicit about which you need, and whether the material must be certified clean for your jurisdiction.

Because Dirt Cheap Hauling & Services, Inc. carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Fill and excavation services is sold by the load. Contractors usually quote material and haulage together by the load, so per-load pricing is the number to compare.

As a rough guide: 1 tandem load covers about 10–12 yards; 1 tri-axle load covers about 14–16 yards; 1 pickup covers about 1 yard.

Measure your area and decide on depth before calling. Most yards will run the volume calculation for you and will flag when stepping up to a larger load actually lowers the price per unit.

Ordering and delivery

Confirm the delivery radius and fee early in the call. Two yards quoting similar material prices can land very differently once haulage is added.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 18 reviews on file, 15 are five-star (83%) and 0 are four-star. 3 reviews sit at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Among the suppliers we list across South Carolina, this rating places Dirt Cheap Hauling & Services, Inc. in the top 77%.

Across the 10 suppliers we list in West Columbia, the average rating is 4.2.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.3 drawn from 18 reviews is a reasonable sample for a local yard.

Hours and visiting the yard

Dirt Cheap Hauling & Services, Inc. is open 7 days a week.

Saturday opening makes this a practical option for weekend projects — a real advantage, since plenty of bulk yards shut for the weekend and leave homeowners unable to collect material outside working hours.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in South Carolina

South Carolina's longer growing season spreads demand across more of the year, which generally means better availability than northern markets. Even so, spring remains the peak for fill and excavation services, and summer heat makes midday loading and installation punishing — early-morning pickups are worth the alarm clock. Autumn and winter are frequently the best value windows, with shorter queues and more flexible delivery scheduling.
