Fill Material (1″ Minus, Dirt)

Fill Material Dirt, 1” Minus

Fill material dirt in a 1" minus size range is a versatile construction aggregate composed primarily of natural soil blended with small particles and fragments up to one inch in diameter. This material is typically sourced from excavation sites and screened to ensure that no particles exceed the specified size, resulting in a mix that compacts well and fills voids efficiently.




The 1" minus sizing means that all material passes through a one-inch screen, allowing for a blend of fine particles and small clumps. This gradation is ideal for backfilling, site grading, and leveling uneven terrain, as the mix compacts easily and provides a stable base for landscaping, driveways, or building pads. While not suitable for drainage or decorative applications due to its high fines content, fill dirt is cost-effective and widely used for both residential and commercial site preparation. Its main advantage is affordability and ease of compaction, though it may require additional topsoil or gravel for surface finishing.
