    All,

    I am in need of some cheap fill dirt to fill a pool with. Also, would also like to get some referrals of pool demo/filling company.

    I am assuming since there is so much construction in the DFW area, there would be some cheap fill dirt available.

    Feel free to email me with any referrals: hiron.fernando@gmail.com

    Thanks in advance!

    Hiron, our definition of "cheap" might be different but there are several places I have used and would highly recommend.  Silver Creek Materials in Fort Worth and Tex-Art Stone in Keller.  I feel that their fill dirt is extremely reasonable and they have other dirt/mulch/rock choices as well.  Silver Creek is almost an adventure (you'll have to buy a hardhat) and worth the trip to see the scope of their work.  And Tex-Art Stone has some entry level fill dirt and some very high end dirt if the need were to ever arise.  You'll need a truck of course...although I think Tex-Art does deliver....but I would also call ahead of time.  Thanks!

    Hiron,

    I can help with the pool demo work as we have demoed several over the years, Cities differ in the requirements some require permits some don't.

    Most will allow you to cave in the walls but have to bust holes in the bottom so water does not pond during rains.

    If you are allowed to cave in the walls this is the least expensive alternative as the concrete will fill the majority of the hole. Thus no transport and disposal fees and less fill dirt needed. I do have a co. I use for dirt hauling and it is typically 275.00 per 12 yards of fill dirt. I then get the last load as good top soil.

    The average cost is around 3500.00 -3800.00

    If you would like to discuss this more feel free to call me at 682-597-6814

    Thank You
