You could haul it around the neighborhood a few pocket loads each day. It only takes time and since you are building your dream house, that's all you'll have to do for entertainment for a couple of decades.

Try this company https://www.solidrockhaulingllc.com/.

I've had Mark haul spoils off for me on a job at Canyon Lake HS. He's also delivered topsoil for me when we lived in New Braunfels.

$350/load sounds about right though.

Would recommend getting bids to haul the entire pile off. Not just dollars per truck. Especially if you are not there to see that each truck has a reasonable load on it. That will be a good job for a small trucking company and you should be able to get some competitive bids.
Find the local sand/rock/gravel pits and call for references. They handle trucking daily.

$0-$50 of it may be disposal

$300-$350 is likely trucking

Don't forget the skid steer & operator loading the trucks.
They likely aren't paying for the disposal, the truckers know people that need fill.

Make sure they know their equipment also. Loading trucks efficiently depending on turnaround time is important. Drivers don't want to wait and they also don't want this guy loading them uneven or banging into the side of their trucks.

Out on 306 there is that guy with the HUGE loader and he ahs been placing spoils on his property for over 5 years. Drop by there and see if he needs/wants them. Honestly $350 a load for load out and haul off isn't Terrible in these times.

About where on 306? We're not local but the hubs will be there tomorrow to meet with the project manager at our lot.

Looks like you have quite a bit of fall to the road. Look at building a terraced yard with a wall and use the fill as back fill (compacted). Personally I would rather spend money on something like that vs hauling it off.

What's your timeline for getting it removed? I may have a place down 306 that could use it but it could be a couple of months before they're ready. I'll put a call in.

We've blown our budget enough already! And there's not enough water out there for something like this!

We're trying to get that figured out this week. There's a school of thought for waiting until the end and use as much as possible for grading. But the electrical undergrounds contractor may need it gone to do their work.

Try contacting Bobby Georg. He does a lot of dirt work and excavation/levelling in the area around Bulverde. He lives across the road from my FIL and my FIL has used him for years to all kinds dirt work for construction around the property. He may have a need for the material for one of his projects or might be able to give you a better quote. Excavation | Bulverde, TX | Bobby George Construction Inc (bobbygeorgconstruction.com)

Sorry my idea isn't going to work out. They don't expect to need much fill material and they're at least 2 months from starting dirt work anyways. Good luck!

Water is not a problem per se, call your architect+builder and issue a change order:

The words "change order" make me shudder.

It would take a skid steer a long time to load an 18 yard dump truck.

may not help you directly, but just for reference, at work I deal with dirt subs in import/export all the time, on a large scale.

Most recent job had 3,900cy export of undesirable dirt, and it was $20/yd.

Just to give you reference of a floor price anyway.

Why are you getting rid of your gun range?
I feel so much better since about 11 a.m. CT on 20 Jan. 2025

Did that include them loading it? Or did you have other equipment onsite doing the loading? A huge chunk of the variability in price will be based on how far they are having to truck it and whether they are loading it (and have to bring in their own equipment) or not. That is why I recommended Bobby Georg. He has a yard down off of Ammann Road east of 3351 and projects all over the Bulverde area, so hopefully he has equipment close by and a place to use the material a short distance away.

Yeah, it would be perfect for that until the HOA got up our arses.

That price is turn key (they are the earthwork subcontractor.. no one else is touching dirt other than electrician/plumber and utility subs digging their trenches). Distance is a huge factor of course.

$350 a load is not bad at all, especially if it's a 20 yard load. If it were bobcats, that would be high.

Honestly, i'd call Colorado Materials or Heidelberg Materials and see if there is interest from them before I'd pay to have it hauled off.

I wish you were closer, I'd take every bit of that material in a heartbeat.
