skhan, i water settled it by blasting every inch with garden hose point blank, 3 times. Worked great, went down almost 4". I left level strings till done.
Reason for wanting solid ground is for my wheelchair. I'm a paraplegic and sand was not fun. My 86yr old father & i did all leveling & fill, a good tree guy cleared it for me.
Soil now is like nice hard NY black dirt with some but not much FL sand. Much of the wood chips that was in fill floated up as i settled it & raked it off.
I'm affraid fruit tree roots will rot in no time, considering they like our sandy stuff. No standing water even though it's flat including after those feet of rain.
It's grass & weed cover now, spread seed, will take photo if landscaper gets here. Top has thin sand layer that washed up from fill.
