Yes, fill-dirt can be used to raise and roughly level low spots, but it should be placed in thin lifts and compacted to minimize settling. For final surface planting or lawns, add a topsoil layer on top of fill-dirt, and watch for high water table or poor drainage common to Florida — consult a local supplier or contractor for compaction guidance.

'Poor man's concrete' usually refers to mixing local soil, gravel and sometimes cement for a low-cost base. Fill-dirt alone is not a structural substitute for concrete — it can work as a sub-base if properly compacted, but for driveways, foundations or pads you need engineered base material and proper compaction rather than relying on untreated fill-dirt.
