We deliver itFill Material (3/4″ Minus, Shale)
Fill material composed of shale in a 3/4" minus size range is a versatile aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that breaks down into angular fragments, making it suitable for stable fill applications. The "3/4" minus" designation means the material includes pieces up to 3/4 inch in size, along with smaller particles and fines, which help the material compact tightly.
