Fill Material (Shale, Multicolor)

Fill Material - Shale, Multicolor

Fill material composed of shale in a multicolor blend is a versatile aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that breaks into thin layers, making it easy to work with for various fill and grading applications. The multicolor aspect adds a natural, varied appearance, which can be beneficial for projects where aesthetics are a consideration.

Shale fill material is valued for its compaction properties, making it suitable for backfilling, site leveling, and creating stable sub-bases for roads, driveways, and building pads. Its layered structure allows for moderate drainage while still providing a firm base. In residential projects, it's often used for filling low spots, landscaping berms, or as a base layer beneath topsoil. While shale compacts well, it may not be ideal for areas requiring high drainage or for use as a decorative surface layer. The multicolor appearance, however, can enhance the visual appeal of exposed fill in landscaping.
