City lots rarely have room for spoil, and many loads leave from the alley. We plan the truck route, protect the boulevard and bring in clean fill and topsoil for what stays.
A basement dig on a Twin Cities lot can fill dozens of trucks, and city lots rarely have room to keep the dirt. We haul extra soil, old concrete, brick and debris to permitted sites, and keep clean soil on site when the grading plan needs it. Clean sand from Richfield or Brooklyn Park digs is often useful elsewhere as fill, which can help with cost.
We bring in what the job needs: clean fill for low areas, screened topsoil for lawns and gardens, sand for pipe bedding, and crushed rock for driveway and garage slab base. Fill under a slab or footing must be clean and compactable, never peat, topsoil or mixed debris. Rain gardens and infiltration areas may need special soil mixes, and we can order them to spec.
Alleys and narrow streets make hauling in Minneapolis and St. Paul a puzzle. We plan where trucks will stand, protect boulevards, curbs and driveways, and keep streets swept. In spring, some roads have seasonal weight limits while the ground thaws, which can affect when heavy loads can move, so we schedule around them. Loads are covered so sand and dust stay in the truck.
Hauling & fill dirt in Minneapolis: common questions
Can you haul out of the alley?
Yes. Many Minneapolis jobs load from the alley, and we keep it passable for neighbors while we work.
Can you bring in topsoil for a new lawn?
Yes. We deliver and spread screened topsoil for lawns, gardens and finish grading.
Why can't trucks come in spring?
Some roads have seasonal load limits during the spring thaw. We plan heavy hauling around those dates.
