Agreed with BBLUT. Go on Craigslist, you'd be surprised as to how many people are giving away dirt...usually because they had to dig out their yard for a pool or something or a deck, you get the point. Check 'er out!

There aint that many pool excavating companies around the Uk i can assure you. I presume ur building DJ so try and make the bottom of the Jump below ground level and use the dirt from this to make your lips. Like this pic

and don't do it just because u think it will be easier; you will just have to waste more time and dirt filling in a muck hole, not fun.
