Fill Material (Non-Spec, Gray)

Fill material in a non-spec grade is a versatile, cost-effective aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping projects where precise engineering standards are not required. This gray fill is typically composed of a mix of soil, sand, small stones, and other natural materials, sourced from excavation or quarry byproducts.

The non-spec attribute means the material is not screened or processed to meet strict size or composition requirements, making it ideal for bulk filling, backfilling, and grading applications where compaction and structural integrity are less critical. It is widely used for leveling ground, filling voids, raising site elevations, and as a sub-base for driveways, roads, and building pads. While its affordability and availability are major advantages, non-spec fill may contain organic matter or debris and is not recommended for load-bearing or drainage-sensitive projects. For general site preparation and landscaping, however, it offers a practical and economical solution.
