What It Is

DirtMatch is a vertical dirt-matching platform for the U.S. market, connecting project owners who “have dirt to dispose of” with users who “need fill dirt.” It functions more like an industry-specific SaaS/local lead marketplace, serving homeowners, contractors, excavators, haulers, material suppliers, and dump sites.

Core Capabilities

The platform centers on creating “Have Dirt / Need Dirt” posts and automatically matching nearby supply and demand based on location. Each post displays up to 30 matching results, ranked by MatchScore. This score is calculated based on factors such as distance, volume, cost, delivery availability, and soil-type compatibility. Basic users can contact some matches via on-site messaging; Premium and PRO users unlock more access to phone numbers, text messaging, and messages. PRO also includes unlimited posts, non-expiring posts, instant notifications, a PRO badge, and a business directory page, making it better suited for ongoing lead generation.

Pricing

Pricing is straightforward: Basic Post is free and suitable for homeowners or occasional needs, but it is limited to one active post, valid for 30 days, with limited contact capabilities. Premium Post costs $29 per post and unlocks contact information for all matches on that post for 30 days. PRO costs $49/month or $490/year, with two months free on the annual plan, making it suitable for businesses that frequently move dirt.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its focused vertical use case, simple onboarding, low-friction free entry, and its ability to reduce the time cost of finding or disposing of dirt through location-based matching and MatchScore. For haulers and suppliers, PRO’s inbound phone/text leads can be valuable for customer acquisition. The limitations are that the platform only connects parties and does not guarantee soil quality or that the soil is uncontaminated, so users must conduct their own due diligence; the free plan has limited reach; and capabilities such as APIs, team permissions, and enterprise-grade security certifications are not disclosed.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited for U.S.-based homeowners, contractors, dirt haulers, material suppliers, and dump sites, especially users looking to reduce disposal fees, transportation costs, or secure a steady flow of project leads. Since the service emphasizes nationwide availability in the United States and dirt transactions are highly dependent on local supply and demand, its practical business value for users in China is limited. Access availability from mainland China is not disclosed, so it is considered unknown.
