Dirt Removal- Yes I Remove Dirt For A Living!
Dirt, dirt and more dirt! This may be one of the most popular calls we get for our removal and hauling services. We are able to provide quick and efficient removal of your dirt pile, clean fill, stump grinder chips, brush debris, stone or any other piles of landscape material. Also, we provide Bobcat skid steer services to spread soil/dirt out on your property. This can typically save you money, rather than hauling it away. And, you get a new patch of grass when it's done! We do offer general landscaping services to spread seed and straw when your soil removal project is complete. We can give pricing on these additional services up front!
Many customers, like myself, are Do-It-Yourselfers and like to install their own patio or landscaping. But, many of these jobs require excavation of soil. It's easy to make a pile in your backyard and forget about it. You leave it there for a few months, weeds take over and a few/many years later you have a nice mound of dirt with trees growing in it! We dump responsibly at local landfills. And, more often than not, we can reuse or recycle your unwanted dirt, rock, mulch, concrete or stump chips. We have many other projects going on at the same time that need fill dirt. So, if the dirt is not "dirty", meaning it doesn't have a large amount of trash/debris in it we can typically transfer it to another jobsite. This can help reduce cost and possibly help another customer at same time!
We have the solution! Depending on the volume of dirt, we can typically remove it same day or within a few days. We even provide light excavation of dirt and soil. You can save your back, many lost weekends and let us do the heavy lifting. Our equipment is small enough to get in to most backyards, narrow gates and quick enough to move large volumes of dirt efficiently! Indianapolis residents have called upon us since 2003 to move, haul away or spread dirt piles on their properties. Call or text today 317-784-8760 for an estimate!
Residential Dirt Removal & Hauling in Indianapolis
Indianapolis Dirt Removal & Hauling | Schott Services FAQ
What types of dirt removal projects do you handle in Indianapolis?
We specialize in small-to-medium residential dirt removal for Indianapolis homeowners. This includes soil from DIY landscaping, sewer line excavations, pool installs, landscape mounds, and sod removal. While we primarily focus on residential needs, we can handle larger sites if the project scope is a good fit.
How much dirt can you haul away at once?
Our truck and trailer combo can haul up to 12 cubic yards per load. For larger projects, we can provide multiple loads.
-
Pro-Tip: A standard 8-foot pickup bed holds about 3 cubic yards. To get a fast, accurate quote, contact Schott Services with a photo of your dirt pile.
-
How much does dirt removal cost in the Indy area?
Pricing is based on volume and accessibility:
-
3 cubic yards or less: $500 minimum charge.
-
4+ cubic yards: $125–$150 per cubic yard.
-
Savings: Pricing per yard typically decreases on larger volume jobs.
-
Access: Piles located at the curb or driveway are the most cost-effective. Backyard removals or distances over 100 feet from our equipment may increase labor costs.
How quickly can you remove my dirt pile?
We pride ourselves on being fast. We typically offer same-day or same-week service in the Indianapolis metro area, depending on the volume of material and current weather conditions.
Can you excavate the dirt for me?
Yes! We offer light excavation services for paver patios, concrete prep, grading, and yard drainage. With over 20 years of experience, we use professional equipment to save you the back-breaking labor of shovels and wheelbarrows.
Will your equipment damage my lawn?
No. We use a compact mini skid steer with rubber tracks designed to be nimble and light on residential turf. For extra protection, we utilize plywood to prevent rutting, ensuring your property remains in great shape.
How can I save money on my dirt removal project?
-
Placement: Pile your dirt at the curb or in the driveway to reduce loading time.
-
On-site Spreading: Instead of hauling it away, we can use our grading and leveling services to spread the soil back onto your property.
-
Summer Scheduling: Dry summer soil is lighter and allows us to drive closer to the pile, saving time and money.
When is the best time to haul away dirt after a sewer excavation?
To avoid future sinking or trenches, we recommend waiting 6 months for soil to settle naturally through rain and gravity. If you’re in a rush, using soaker hoses can speed up the process, but Mother Nature does the best job!

How many cubic yards do you estimate you have, and is the pile located on a hard surface like a driveway?
"I had a dirt mound from a storm shelter install from a few years ago. He was able to stop by for a quick estimate and gave me a couple of different options (grading vs dirt removal). Really easy to work with and was honest/upfront with everything. Will use him again if I need any work done."
