What Counts as Dirt Work?

Anything that moves, places, or shapes soil on your property. If the job is "I need dirt brought in," "I need this leveled," or "I need this to stop flooding" — that's us.

01 — Fill Dirt
Fill Dirt Delivered & Spread

We supply the fill, haul it in, spread it, and compact it — not just dump it. Raising low ground, filling old ponds and washouts, and bringing building sites up to elevation.

02 — Grading
Lot Grading & Leveling

Rough and finish grading for yards, building sites, and pastures. The grade set so water runs away from structures — the fix for soggy yards and washed-out corners.

03 — Pads
Building Pads

Compacted pads for houses, mobile homes, barns, and metal buildings — fill placed in lifts and compacted layer by layer so nothing settles. Building new? See our full site prep service.

04 — Hauling
Dirt Hauling & Cuts

Sometimes the dirt has to go the other way. High spots cut down, spoil piles removed, and material hauled off — dump trucks and the machines to load them, one crew.

Pricing

How Much Does Dirt Work Cost
in North Central Florida?

Most dirt work projects start at $2,000, and a compacted building pad typically runs $2,500 to $12,000. Three things drive the number:

Loads of Fill

Fill volume is the biggest cost driver on any dirt job. A few loads fixes a low spot; raising a building site to elevation can take dozens. We measure and calculate loads at the free estimate — no guessing off the phone.

Haul Distance

Every load rides in a dump truck, so where the dirt comes from matters. We source fill close to your site whenever we can — shorter hauls mean more of your budget goes into dirt, not diesel.

Site Conditions

Trucks need room to get in and turn around, and wet or soft ground slows everything down. Tight access or muck under the surface adds handling time — we flag it up front, not on the invoice.

FAQ

Dirt Work & Fill Dirt —
Common Questions

Dirt work is everything that moves, places, or shapes soil on a property: fill dirt hauled in and spread, lots graded and leveled, building pads built up and compacted, low spots filled, and dirt cut or hauled off where the grade is too high. In North Central Florida it is usually the step between raw land and whatever you are building — a home, barn, driveway, or just a yard that finally drains.
Most dirt work projects in North Central Florida start at $2,000, and a compacted building pad typically runs $2,500 to $12,000. The number is driven by how many loads of fill the job needs, how far the dirt has to be hauled, and how easy the site is to work. JGH gives free on-site estimates with a firm number before work starts — call 386-288-2212.
Yes. We supply the fill, haul it in, spread it, and compact it as part of the job — you are not left with a mountain of dirt and no machine to move it. That is the difference between ordering loads from a dirt pit and hiring a dirt work contractor: the dirt ends up placed, compacted, and graded, not just dumped.
It depends on the area you are filling and how much height it needs — a small low spot may take a few loads while raising a building site to elevation can take dozens. Guessing wrong in either direction costs money, so we measure the site and calculate loads as part of the free estimate rather than guessing off the phone. Call 386-288-2212 and we will come look at it.
Yes — standing water is a grading problem, and grading is dirt work. We fill and compact the low spots, reshape the grade so water moves away from the house instead of toward it, and cut swales where the lot needs a path for runoff. Most wet-yard fixes in North Central Florida are straightforward once the grade is corrected.
Dirt work is the fill, grading, and pad-building itself. Site prep is the full build-ready sequence for new construction — clearing the footprint, the pad, septic, driveway, and final drainage, sequenced by one crew. If you are building, see our site prep service; if you need dirt moved, placed, or shaped on land you already have, that is dirt work and this page is the right place.
