This review concerns my use of Dirt Connections, 11325 Random Hills Rd #360, Fairfax, VA 22030. I first them in 2018. I spoke to Chuck Moore and have dealt with him on various projects over the past two years. In all, I have received 60 truckloads of fill dirt. After spreading all that fill dirt, I also ended up with a pile of ricks that I couldn’t use. I then called two different places for estimates to remove the rocks. One estimate was foe $2500 and the other was for nearly $3000. No Thank You!At that point - around the first week of August, 2020 I contacted Chuck Moore as I was in need of about 10 more truckloads of fill dirt. As I was discussing this with him I snarked that I didn’t need to add to my $3000 pile of rocks. From that moment on my life just got a lot better. Chuck expressed his concern and asked if he could come to my house and look at the rock pile. I agreed and when he saw the rocks he said he would take care of the problem. On Sunday, August 30, 2020 Chuck showed up at my house with a bobcat and a rock bucket and completely solved my rock problem.It is so very rare to encounter people like Chuck any more. It seems that many if not most businesses have carried “caveat emptor“ to the extreme. Not so here. It has been my privilege to deal with an honorable human being - Chuck Moore. Thank you.

I didn't need as much dirt as the driver brought. He was so nice and friendly and delivered just the amount I needed. Very easy to work with from start to finish!!

Nick Rosenau

I had a wonderful experience with Dirt Connections. It couldn't have been any easier or faster. Chuck contacted me immediately after I placed my order and had the dirt delivered to me in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend this service!

Michael Burkhardt

We hired Dirt Connections for an inground pool demolition and they were fantastic. These are good folks that made us feel confident that the job would be done well and it was. It wasn't cheap but it was definitely money well spent.They came out to survey the job for an estimate within a couple days of my request. Chuck was very personable and professional, clearly describing everything they would be doing and answering many questions I hadn't even thought of. The next day I had the proposal in my inbox with the cost and, again, clearly describing the job and what I could expect from them and it was very easy to read and understand. Very shortly after I accepted the proposal Martir called and we arranged payment (made very convenient) and he got the permit request in right away. As for the crew, they were on time or early, answered any questions I had, were a pleasure to have around, and were right on schedule completing the job. They were thoughtful as well, among other touches making sure to grade the new dirt (soon to be new yard) so rain water would flow correctly to avoid pooling and when they left on the last day everything was cleaned up including sweeping the dirt off of the end of the driveway.

Daniel Tanner

I contacted Chuck because I needed 15 loads of dirt for a rather large project in my backyard. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. Not only did he save me thousands off what I was quoted by local companies in Stafford County. His follow up in making sure everything was on time and completed is a rarity in today’s world. If you need dirt and you live in northern Virginia I highly suggest calling them.

Matt Plunkett

I had a great overall experience working with Chuck. I spent weeks searching for a company that could strengthen and raise my foundation approx. 2 inch. Dirt connections was able to execute this job on time, beyond expectations, and at a fair price. Chuck is very knowledgable and has a ton of experience in the industry. He cares about the success of the customer and is honest with expectations. I would definitely recommend Dirt Connections for your foundation/structural needs. I plan to work with them on future projects.

Frank Herring

Chuck and Co. were responsive and careful to help develop the scope of the need for my project. The instructions to receive the load were explicit and they made sure I knew what I was getting. The delivery (1/2 truckload) was timely and as promised.

Jackson Taylor

Chuck and his team were simply great. I needed fill dirt for repairing some torn up pastures. I got 30 truck loads and Chuck was always responsive and informative about the process and details. I will definitely use Dirt Connections again.

Matthew Gill

Chuck over at Dirt Connections is excellent. He quickly arranged for a drop off of fill dirt, and was courteous all the while. On the day of the drop off, I requested an alteration to the original order, which he took in stride. Chuck is not only honest, but he comes across as a good person - the opposite of which I had read about fill dirt movers. I highly recommend anyone needing dirt for their yards/jobs to use Dirt Connections.

Thomas Kagan

Special thanks to Chuck for helping me plan my patio project, He took time out of his day to e-mail me the details of what it would take for me to build a DIY brick patio. This was all at no cost, he was just trying to be helpful. I'm saving his contact info and will be using him for all furture services.

Brad Bauer

Worked with Chuck to get 3 loads of fill dirt delivered in short notice. Drivers were good and dumped exactly where I asked. No issues. Will be ordering more!

Wilfido Gonzalez

I meet Chuck and he is a very professional person he let me know how to do my project with professionalism I am very happy to find him and I can recommended him to anyone who needs his services he will direct you on the right path ones again thank you chuck for your help I will call you again for any future service.

Alfonso Guillen

Great professional company, contracted for for some gravel and grading to extend driveway and did an outstanding job. Thank you very much for the work done!!!

Gary Van Horn

Dirt Connections was a pleasure to do business with. Their customers service was outstanding. I needed 25 truck loads of backfill and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended.

fiona mahar

Price competitive and good customer service. They coordinated with our crews to make sure they delivered the dirt we ordered right when we needed it.

My wife and I are in the process of building our forever home and I wanted some professional help / education on our driveway. Chuck did exactly that! The guy was like talking to one of my buddies. He was very knowledgeable and very professional. He told me what to do and what not to do from what I'd been told by others. Chuck is about doing the job correctly and that doesn't always mean overspending for unnecessary steps. If you need help with your project, I would suggest talking with Chuck.

Jennifer Ferenz Lerma

Dirt Connections is fast, responsive, accommodating, and personable. I put an order in on a Thursday for dirt, but never got a confirmation email. I reached out by phone on Saturday morning and it was explained that there is a glitch in the system sometimes and they are working on it, so I placed the order again while on the phone and it went through right away. And then, the dirt was delivered that afternoon. How convenient for a whole dump truck load of dirt! I purchased screened dirt to even out my backyard in my new home and there aren't even rocks in the dirt I received. My husband and I are already planning to order another load of dirt as we work on our front yard. I never thought I'd be excited about dirt, but Dirt Connections made it so easy to get rolling on this project of leveling out my yard.

Susan Dass

Working with Chuck Moore was an absolute pleasure! We discussed my project needs, he made suggestions and kept me informed of the delivery status. I got my topsoil within two days and he personally arrived with the driver to ensure I got the material to my project site even though there were site access difficulties that he remedied on the spot. The screened organic topsoil looks terrific with dark organics, soil, and just enough clay/fines to hold a ball shape yet easily breaks apart. Just what I needed! A great experience working with Chuck!

Johanna Desbiens

We used Chuck to remove our old driveway/walkway and replace them with concrete. His team did an amazing job. Chuck is very professional and very responsive. Chuck kept us informed of the days the guys would be at our house and what would be done, we were never not in the know of what was happening with the project. Chuck is an amazing person and very personable, we would recommend him again!

Ben Krauss

From the initial call to delivery, working with Chuck was an easy process. He answered all my questions and worked with me on a delivery date between rainstorms. The screened soil he delivered was wonderful quality and free of any branches, rocks and trash. I wouldn't hesitate using his services in the future.

Doug Manning

Dirt Connections and Chuck have helped me on two projects recently. In both cases I received prompt and thorough information, constant communication, and quality work. Thanks Chuck, look forward to working with you in the future.

Vanessa Lamers

What an excellent experience! We ordered online and had our fill dirt in a week. Chuck coordinated with our schedules and the weather and the driver navigated our narrow driveway (and mailbox! and garbage can!) masterfully. So impressed with this group and will be ordering all dirt here. Quality of the screened fill dirt is amazing as well. Highly recommend!

AJ G

Chuck is very professional and knowledgeable, he provided advise and suggestions for my project and had a lot of patience when setting up delivery of dirt to my home allowing for weather delays and my work schedule. My project took over 2 years to complete but Chuck stuck with me and offered valuable advice along the way. When I need more dirt or advise on an excavation project I know who to contact.

Kirk Garvin

Chuck did a great job on getting me the dirt I needed for my home. he bought in 20 loads of fill dirt at a good pace and was extremely communicative along the way. I would recommend Dirt Connections to anyone looking for fill dirt.

Mark Vanderlyn

Dirt Connection was very responsive and delivered our order within 2 days. Chuck called me several times to be sure everything went smoothly. We are vary satisfied with both the quality and reasonable price we paid. I would have no concerns in ordering more fill or topsoil from this company.

Dirt Connections is amazing. I had a few people string me along promising good quality fill dirt but never delivering. Dirt Connections showed up at 7am the next morning! We discussed my unique needs. He told me I needed twice as much as my contractor suggested. He was correct. Dirt showed up same day! Would strongly recommend.

John D

Chuck did a great job getting fill dirt for my project. He was able to help me meet a deadline. Highly recommend.

DJ Sweater

Chuck does a great job at taking care of customers. He walked us through the whole process, and made us feel at home about our siding and brick repair. I am going to call Chuck and Dirt Connections about our future bathroom and concrete driveway remodeling as well. Great guy, great company, thanks Chuck!

I gave Dirt Connections a call about a week ago to see what they could do about remodeling the bathroom at my house. Chuck answered the phone, was extremely polite and knowledgeable, and pointed me in the right direction! I thought the quote was very affordable, and will be recommending him to my friends. 5 out of 5 stars.

Sandra Maxey

If you are looking for quality home improvements, this is the company for you. They were on time, courteous and went beyond our expectations with the addition they did for us. Would recommend them highly and definitely use them again!

David C. Roseman

My experience with Dirt Connections has been excellent. Chuck Moore is quite professional, and his personal service and attention to detail in arranging the right fill material is impressive.

We used this company to haul dirt for a pool dig out of Bethesda Md. They did an outstanding job. Thank you Chuck for making this work on short notice.

Michael Loper

On behalf of the Trustees of Bruen Chapel United Methodist Church, I see hallmarks of this project (filling a 6 foot sinkhole) by Dirt Connections as the contractor's extremely prompt response and the thorough accomplishment of the work. The project was wrapped up much faster than I had estimated, given the issues that heavy rain has caused all over Fairfax County.

Miri Birk

Excellent service. Quick delivery. good clean fill dirt. And the price was right.

Laura Bryan

I worked with Chuck who was VERY accommodating. He worked hard to get me clean fill which is not guaranteed. He was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. If I ever need dirt again this is where I will go.

Brett Gerard

This is the second time I've worked with Chuck. The service is stellar A+, very organized, on-time and they are flexible on delivery. The fill dirt is clean. Chuck goes above and beyond to service his clients and most of all I appreciate they level of communication. This level of service is difficult to find in NOVA.

Chuck Moore at Dirt Connections really goes above and beyond to help his customers with all their trucking needs! My company, Benchmark Utility Services, has used Dirt Connections for many jobs and they always deliver for us!

Shannon Frazier

Our delivery was placed in the wrong location. Chuck made sure the mistake was corrected quickly and went the extra mile. Very responsive and professional. Highly recommend.

VIRGINIA TICER BAECHLER

Chuck Moore and his staff have helped our family with multiple projects, including moving, snow removal, and water remediation! They're always willing to help, and they do so quickly and professionally! We would strongly recommend them to anyone needing any of their services! Thank you for everything, Chuck!!

Chris Myers

Great service, great dirt, all around great experience! They even helped me think through what I needed to do after the dirt arrived.

Christian Chopitea

Working with them was a remarkable experience, starting with the communication, punctuality, the delivery and the quality of soil. Everything was coordinated precisely to my expectations. Highly recommend if you are in need of soil.

Taylor Pereira

Chuck is the man! He’s been working with my husband and our trucking business for months and has never let us down! Awesome guy, great businessman, and a great connection to have.

mike row

Chuck took the time to walk me through the entire process. He met with me multiple times and was on site the first day the dirt was delivered to help coordinate dirt placement. I would not hesitate to use him in the future.

Thomas Mathew

Chuck was great to work with! Responds quickly and very flexible to meet any request. Highly recommend!

Heather Lowell

I had such a fantastic experience working with Chuck at Dirt Connections, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone for any project. I contracted with Chuck to remove an old pool at our new home. During our first call, he clearly explained both options for the project, and he was the first contractor I brought out after we closed on the home. Chuck was so helpful and informative, and the price he quoted me so reasonable, that I didn't meet with anyone else. I honestly didn't (and still don't) think there could be anyone more customer-oriented or easier to work with than Chuck and his workers/subcontractors. The guys who came to the project site were so kind, helpful, respectful, and communicative. They checked in with me on each step, and at the beginning and end of each day. They cleaned the site thoroughly at the end, including pressure washing my driveway, and even my husband (who'd wanted to keep the pool) had to admit they did an amazing job and graded the yard so well afterward. I even found out after they'd left on the last day that the guys had hauled my empty trashcans back up from the curb for me just to be nice! Chuck knows his stuff, hires great people, and is so kind and easy to work with. If I had the opportunity again, I would definitely work with him on any project his company handles. Highly recommended!

James Imoehl

Dirt Connections is great! Chuck is reliable and responsive and was able to get me all the dirt I needed for my job. Also willing to discuss other projects and reasonably priced. Overall great team and plan on using them again!

Dean

If you're looking for affordable fill dirt/top soil, excellent customer service, and responsiveness - Chuck at Dirt Connections is your guy! Our dirt needs made our project stressful, but Chuck was there to walk us thru the whole process and ensured we were taken case of, and he was available to answer any questions - even during evening hours and on Sundays. If you come across Dirt Connections during your search - look no further, Chuck is your guy. Thanks Chuck!

Bill Dawson

Chuck was great and very friendly. He worked with me to get an order filled quickly and the dirt was delivered as promised. Chuck kept me in the loop during each step of the way. Definitely recommend working with him.
