I need 3ish cu yards of top soil before I plant some new grass in my front yard.

Lots of cheap guys on craig's list, but they all wanna bring a full dump truck, or they want me to hand shovel it into the back of my truck.

Anybody know of a reasonably priced yard that has a front end loader that can just dump some dirt in the back of my truck?

Jordon, they're doing some sitework across the street from my office. They're moving a lot of dirt around and hauling some off. You could probably convince them to dump a bed full in your truck if you wanted. East Plano....

There's a place on Beltline just south of Rock Island/North of Story that has a front end loader that will put a scoop in the back of your truck for $12 it was...

was $10 last spring, $12 last summer. 2 scoops had me almost dragging frame in my v6 F150 when I had it. I think he said it was about 1000 lbs per scoop.

Make sure you get top soil and not common fill. I didn't know the difference about 12 years ago and got a load of common fill at my house in Ennis.

I spent the next week pulling out rebar, brick, concrete, glass, and whatever crap you can name out of it......
