Fill Material (2.5″ Minus, Crushed)

Crushed Fill Material in a 2.5” Minus Size Range

Crushed fill material in a 2.5" minus size range is a versatile aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into a blend of particles up to 2.5 inches in diameter, with smaller fragments and fines included. The "minus" designation means the material contains a mix of sizes from the maximum down to dust, which helps it compact tightly.




This size and crushed texture make it ideal for use as a stable base in construction projects such as roadways, building pads, and large-scale backfill. The angular edges of the crushed material interlock well, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and reducing the risk of shifting or settling. While it compacts well and offers strong support, the presence of fines can limit drainage, so it's best used where water runoff is not a primary concern. Both contractors and DIYers rely on 2.5" minus crushed fill for foundational work, site grading, and as a sub-base for driveways and parking lots.
