dirt pile

Excavated soil stack

A dirt pile is a mound of loose soil, typically created during excavation, construction, or landscaping.

Children are drawn to dirt piles for climbing and digging: The kids spent all afternoon on the dirt pile in the backyard.

On construction sites, dirt piles await redistribution or removal.
