Fill Material, Crushed, Non-Spec, 2.5" Minus

Fill material in a 2.5" minus size range, featuring a crushed, non-spec attribute, is a versatile aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping. This material consists of a blend of stone fragments and fines, all sized at 2.5 inches and smaller. The "crushed" aspect means the aggregate has angular edges, which help it compact well, while "non-spec" indicates it does not meet strict grading or certification standards, making it suitable for general fill rather than structural or engineered applications.

The 2.5" minus size allows for effective filling of large voids and uneven terrain, while the mix of fines aids in compaction and stability. This makes it ideal for use as backfill behind retaining walls, sub-base for roads and driveways, site grading, and general land development. While it offers good compaction and is cost-effective, its non-spec nature means it may contain a wider range of particle sizes and occasional debris, so it is not recommended for finished surfaces or areas requiring precise engineering. Overall, this fill material is a practical choice for bulk fill and foundational work where high performance specifications are not required.
