Fill Dirt in Moon Lake Estates, FL

In Moon Lake Estates homeowners use it to build up low spots, create level pads for sheds or pools, improve driveway grades, and backfill around foundations where local sandy soils need added bulk for elevation or grading.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it will cover about 324 sq ft at a 1-inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches.

Cost depends on truck size, how many cubic yards you need, and the per-yard price; tri-axle dump trucks commonly carry roughly 8 to 12 cubic yards of fill dirt.
