Fill Material (3/16″)
Applications & Uses
Fill Material in a 3/16" Size Range
Fill material in a 3/16" size range is a finely graded aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping projects. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or recycled concrete to achieve a consistent, small particle size.
The 3/16" size makes this fill material ideal for applications where a smooth, compactable base is required. Its fine texture allows for excellent compaction, making it suitable for leveling subgrades beneath pavers, concrete slabs, or asphalt. It is also frequently used for backfilling trenches, pipe bedding, and as a base layer for walkways and patios. The small particle size ensures minimal voids, reducing the risk of settling over time. However, because it compacts so tightly, it is not recommended for drainage applications where water flow is needed.
