Yard Dirt

Yard Dirt in DeLand, FL

Yard dirt is the everyday fill soil for smoothing out a property. West Volusia homeowners use it to grade and level low spots, fill in ruts and washed-out areas, and build up thin ground before seeding or laying sod. Our sandy native ground settles and dips over time, so a few yards of general fill goes a long way. We sell it in bulk by the cubic yard.

Yard dirt is distinct from our clean fill dirt, which is structural for pads and grade raising, and from screened topsoil, which is the finishing layer for lawns and beds. If you're leveling a bumpy yard for a bigger project, see our fill dirt & yard leveling page too. Tell us your project and we'll help you order the right amount. Call to confirm current pricing and availability.

How much do I need?
As a general guide, length × width × depth (in feet) ÷ 27 = cubic yards. Measure your low spots, add them up, and call to confirm the quantity for your project.

How much do I need?

Enter length, width, and depth to estimate how much you'll need.

Rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. Measure length × width, divide by 100, and that's roughly the cubic yards you need. This is an estimate; bed shape, settling, and product texture can change the final amount, so call 386-775-8676 to confirm quantity and availability.
