Fill Dirt for Yard Leveling
Level low spots, build up grade, and form a base under pads — sold by the cubic yard.
If part of your yard sits low, holds water, or just needs to come up to grade, fill dirt is the material that does it. It's the bulk fill you use to reshape the ground — leveling dips, raising an area, or building up a base before pads, sheds, and driveways go in.
This page covers what fill dirt is for, how it differs from planting soils, and how much to order. If you'd rather just describe your project, call 386-775-8676.
Leveling low spots: Fill in dips and even out an uneven yard so it drains and mows better.
Building up grade: Raise a whole area — say, to keep water moving away from the house or to bring a spot up before you build on it.
Base under pads: Fill dirt is often the first layer under a shed or driveway, with a compacted base like crushed concrete or limerock on top.
Fill dirt is for bulk and grade, not planting. For growing, you'd add soil on top. Not sure which you need? Call to confirm.
Fill dirt is sold by the cubic yard. How much you need comes down to the area you're filling and how deep — a large, shallow area and a small, deep hole can add up to the same number, so measurements help. Call with your rough dimensions and we'll help you estimate.
Pick it up at our DeLand yard or have it delivered across West Volusia — see our dirt & fill dirt page and our delivery info.

Fill dirt is the workhorse for building up grade — leveling low spots in a yard, raising an area, and forming a base under pads, sheds, and driveways before the top materials go on. It's about bulk and shape, not growing plants.
No. Fill dirt is for building up and leveling; topsoil, garden mix, and potting soil are for planting and growing. If you're filling a low spot you want fill dirt, and if you're planting on top you'd add soil after. See our dirt and soil pages, or call and we'll point you to the right one.
It's sold by the cubic yard and depends on the area and how much you're building up. Call 386-775-8676 with the rough dimensions and the depth you're trying to fill, and we'll help you estimate — call to confirm quantity for your project.
Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to build up and level the ground first, then a compacted base like crushed concrete or limerock goes on top. How it's built depends on the project — call to confirm the right material and depth for your project.
Both. Fill dirt is available for pickup at our DeLand yard and for delivery across West Volusia. Ask about current delivery options — availability may vary by distance, access, load size, and site conditions.
Filling and re-grading a low spot can help move water away, but drainage depends on the whole yard. Tell us what's happening and we'll talk through whether fill dirt, re-grading, or drainage stone makes more sense — when in doubt, call to confirm.
