Fill Material, Unclassified, 3" Minus

Fill material in a 3" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend containing particles up to 3 inches in diameter, along with smaller fragments and fines. As an unclassified product, it is not screened or sorted for specific gradation, resulting in a mix of stone, gravel, sand, and soil. This material is typically sourced from excavation or quarry operations and is valued for its affordability and availability.

The 3" minus sizing allows for effective bulk filling, while the presence of fines helps the material compact well, making it suitable for building up subgrades, backfilling large excavations, or leveling uneven terrain. Common uses include site preparation, road base construction, and filling low spots on residential or commercial properties. While its unclassified nature means it may contain organic material or debris, it is ideal for non-structural applications where precise gradation is not required. Note that it is not recommended for areas requiring a smooth finish or high drainage, but it excels in providing stable, economical fill for large-scale earthwork projects.
