Fill Material (3″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Fill Material in a 3" Minus Size Range
Fill material in a 3" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend consisting of rocks, gravel, and fines, with the largest particles measuring up to 3 inches in diameter. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or recycled concrete, resulting in a mix of coarse and fine particles.
The 3" minus sizing means that all particles are 3 inches or smaller, allowing for effective compaction and stability. The presence of fines helps the material bind together, making it ideal for use as a sub-base in road construction, building pads, and large-scale grading projects. It is commonly used to fill low areas, create stable building platforms, or backfill retaining walls. While its coarse nature provides excellent load-bearing capacity, it may not be suitable for applications requiring a smooth or decorative finish. Overall, 3" minus fill material is valued for its affordability, ease of compaction, and ability to provide a solid foundation for both residential and commercial construction projects.
