Dirt hauling and removal in Hillsboro, OR. Hillsboro Excavation Co. hauls spoils off and delivers fill dirt, topsoil, and rock by the yard or load. Free estimates, licensed and insured.
Dirt hauling in Hillsboro moves material in or out by the truckload — hauling off the spoils from an excavation, bringing in fill or topsoil, or trucking away debris and unwanted soil. Hillsboro Excavation Co. runs dump trucks and loading equipment across Hillsboro and Washington County, handling everything from a few yards off a small job to hundreds of yards on a site build. When you've got too much dirt, not enough, or the wrong kind, we haul it.
Every excavation job produces or needs material, and hauling is often the hidden cost that surprises people. A pad that gets cut generates spoils that have to go somewhere; a low lot needs fill trucked in and compacted; a garden needs quality topsoil. We handle the loading, the trucking, and the disposal or sourcing, with clean loads and fast turnaround so material moving doesn't become the bottleneck on your project.
Hillsboro Excavation Co. moves material both directions, by the yard or by the load:
Hauling sounds simple until it holds up your whole job. We size the trucks and loading equipment to the site and the volume, keep loads clean and legal on the road, and turn them around fast so your crew isn't standing around waiting for the next empty truck. Whether it's a few yards of spoils off a trench or a steady run of loads on a mass excavation, we keep material moving so the dirt work stays on schedule.
Not all fill is equal, and using the wrong material causes problems later. Structural fill under a pad or driveway has to be the kind that compacts and bears load; general fill can be looser; topsoil is for growing, not building. We source the right material for what you're doing and place it properly — compacted in lifts where it's structural — so the dirt we bring in does its job instead of settling or failing under load.
Every dig in Hillsboro produces or needs dirt, and where it comes from and goes to is a local question. On the flat Tualatin Valley floor, the native ground is often heavy clay and reworked agricultural soil — fine for some fill, wrong for structural work or for growing anything. When a job in South Hillsboro, Orenco, or out toward Reedville needs clean structural fill or quality screened topsoil, we source it from Washington County suppliers and haul it in; when a foundation or grading job generates spoils, we load them out and take them to a proper disposal site, not a ditch or a neighbor's back lot.
The valley's creeks and the wet season shape hauling too. Around 36 inches of rain a year on low, flat ground means loaded trucks can rut soft sites and track mud onto public roads, which the county and city take seriously. We size trucks to the site and the season, keep loads clean and legal on Hillsboro roads, and time bigger hauls so we're not tearing up a saturated site in the middle of a December storm. It keeps your project moving and keeps you clear of a code complaint.
Dirt hauling in Hillsboro is usually priced by the cubic yard or by the truckload. Hauling spoils off site runs roughly $60 to $120 per cubic yard including loading and disposal, and imported material like fill, topsoil, or rock runs about $35 to $60 per ton or yard delivered and placed, depending on the material and haul distance. Disposal fees and how far the material travels are the biggest cost factors. Below are typical ranges across Washington County.
| Hauling scope | Typical unit | Typical Hillsboro cost |
|---|---|---|
| Spoil / excess dirt removal | per cubic yard | $60 – $120 |
| Fill dirt delivered | per cubic yard | $35 – $60 |
| Screened topsoil delivered | per cubic yard | $40 – $70 |
| Crushed rock / gravel delivered | per ton | $35 – $60 |
| Dump truck load (haul-off) | per load | $400 – $1,200 |
Ranges are typical for the Hillsboro / Washington County area and include loading, hauling, and disposal or material. Volume, material type, disposal fees, and haul distance move the number. We give a firm, itemized quote after a free site visit — no obligation.
Hauled material has to go somewhere legal, and imported fill has to be clean. Hillsboro Excavation Co. disposes of spoils at proper sites, sources clean fill and quality topsoil from reputable suppliers, and won't dump questionable material on your property or haul yours somewhere it shouldn't go. Where a fill project is large enough to need grading permits or fill compaction to spec, we handle that too, so the material we bring in is placed to code, not just dumped.
We look at what needs to move — in or out — check access and volume, and give you a written, itemized quote.
We size the trucks and equipment to the job and schedule hauling so it fits your project's timeline.
Our crew loads clean and hauls fast — spoils to disposal, or fill and rock to your site.
We place imported material properly (compacted where it's structural) or dispose of spoils at a proper site.

Both. We haul away the spoils and excess soil an excavation leaves behind, and we deliver and place clean fill dirt, screened topsoil, and crushed rock or gravel. Whether you have too much dirt, not enough, or the wrong kind, we move it the direction you need — and place structural fill compacted in lifts where it has to bear load.
They do different jobs. Structural and general fill dirt is for building up grade and bearing load — under a pad, driveway, or low spot — and the structural kind is chosen to compact and hold. Topsoil is screened, nutrient-rich soil for growing lawns, gardens, and landscaping. Using fill where you need topsoil (or the reverse) causes problems, so we source the right material for what you're doing.
As many as the job needs. We size the trucks and loading equipment to the site and volume, from a few yards of spoils off a small trench to hundreds of yards on a mass excavation, and keep loads turning around fast so hauling doesn't hold up the rest of the work. For large jobs we schedule a steady run of loads to match the pace of the dig.
Hauled material goes to a proper, legal disposal site — we don't dump it where it shouldn't go. Imported fill and topsoil come from reputable suppliers and arrive clean. For larger fill projects that need grading permits or compaction to spec, we handle placing the material to code rather than just dumping it, so what we bring in actually does its job.
