    Put new soil in old tree pit?

    New topsoil would be much better for growth. Soil is not "re-usable" as far as growing plants goes. You can certainly throw the soil in the compost pile and "re-cycle" it though! I would truck in new topsoil if you are planning on some vegetation.

    Re-finish a hardwood floor

    If you don't sand the floor the finish just won't look as good. Sanding is what brings the whole floor down to the same level and cleans off any uneven wear or discoloration. You will end up with a much higher quality floor if you have it sanded first.
