Fill dirt and excavation in Greenacres: call (561) 779-3213 for a free estimate, then we raise low ground, level a pad or dig to depth on your lot, with the City permit and drainage district checked first. Bobcat T740 with a 60" grapple, $1,385/day with an operator.
Greenacres is flat, sandy ground a few miles inland, and the wet-season water table is usually not far below the surface. That sets the job. A pad that sits an inch or two too low holds water against a slab, a side yard that was never shaped puddles after the first big storm, and a driveway cut below the road floods before the rain stops. Fill dirt and excavation are two directions of one job: bring ground up where it is too low, take it down or dig it out where it has to sit lower.
The Bobcat T740 and its 60-inch grapple push and spread fill, level a graded pad and dig a cut to depth, at $1,385 a day with an operator. Call (561) 779-3213, give us the address and what the ground has to do when we are done, and the estimate is free.
We publish the machine rate and not a per-yard or per-ton price for material. The day rate covers the T740 and an operator pushing, spreading and leveling. The fill itself is delivered by the load and priced by whoever supplies it, and the number depends on how many loads your lot needs, so we say call for a quote rather than guess a figure that would be wrong.
A rule of thumb helps with the loads. One cubic yard of fill covers roughly 100 square feet at three inches deep, or about 27 square feet at a foot deep. A raised pad a foot high over a 20-by-30-foot footprint is therefore a few dozen yards, not a handful, which is why the lot gets measured before any material is ordered.
Greenacres sits inside the Lake Worth Drainage District, whose canals and culverts carry stormwater off the eastern part of Palm Beach County. A swale or culvert at the edge of a lot is drainage infrastructure, not spare yard. Fill placed against one, or a grade that sends water toward a neighbor, is a question for the district and the City before the first load is spread, not a surprise for later.
Before fill goes down we walk the lot for what it can hurt: a swale or culvert at the edge, a drain line, a well or a septic drainfield on a parcel that has one. A compacted drainfield is a repair bill nobody wants. Every dig starts with a free Sunshine 811 utility locate so buried power, water and cable are marked before the bucket goes in.
Greenacres is an incorporated city with its own Development & Neighborhood Services / Building Division at City Hall, 5800 Melaleuca Lane, separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that covers unincorporated land. Moving soil is not regulated like clearing brush: grading, filling and changing drainage can trigger a separate review, and we do not guess whether a given parcel needs one. We confirm it with the City before booking.
Greenacres is a city of established neighborhoods: Cresthaven, Lucerne Lakes, Lucerne Park, Sherwood Lakes, Springhill, Covered Bridge, Palm Beach Villas, and the newer Royal Palm Estates and Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club areas toward the western edge. Where a lot sits inside a community association, a raised pad or re-graded yard can need the association’s sign-off as well as the City’s, so ask yours first.
A filled and graded Greenacres lot rarely ends there. The next stop is usually the building itself (construction in Greenacres), the roof over it (roofing in Greenacres), an association that has to approve the change (property and HOA management in Greenacres), or a food truck for the event once the lot is ready (America food truck in Greenacres).

One cubic yard covers roughly 100 square feet at three inches deep, or about 27 square feet at a foot deep. A raised pad is usually dozens of yards, which is why we measure the lot before material is ordered.

Yes. We excavate to depth for footings, French drains and utility runs with the Bobcat T740, after a free Sunshine 811 utility locate marks buried power, water and cable.
Often, if the lot sits inside a community association, as many in Cresthaven, Lucerne Lakes, Covered Bridge and Palm Beach Villas do. A City permit does not replace association approval, so ask yours first.
