Fill Material in a 1.5" Minus Size Range

Fill material in a 1.5" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend consisting of crushed stone, gravel, and fines, with particles ranging from 1.5 inches down to dust. This gradation allows the material to compact well, creating a stable base for a variety of construction and landscaping projects.

The "minus" designation means the mix contains both larger aggregate and smaller particles, which fill voids and enhance compaction. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base beneath roads, driveways, patios, and concrete slabs, as well as for backfilling trenches and leveling uneven ground. While it offers excellent stability and load-bearing capacity, the presence of fines means it is not suitable for drainage applications. Its affordability and ease of compaction make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial site preparation.
