Fill Material - Structural, Unsized, Crushed

Structural fill material with a crushed texture is a versatile aggregate commonly used in construction for backfilling, site grading, and foundation support. Unlike screened or sized aggregates, this unsized fill contains a mix of particle sizes, which allows it to compact well and provide a stable base for various structures. The crushed nature of the material ensures angular edges, promoting interlock and reducing the risk of shifting under load.

This type of fill is ideal for both residential and commercial projects where structural integrity is essential, such as under slabs, roadways, or retaining walls. Its unsized composition can make it less suitable for applications requiring precise grading or a smooth finish, but it excels in situations where maximum compaction and load-bearing capacity are priorities. The crushed attribute also helps minimize voids, enhancing stability and reducing settlement over time.
