Fill Material in a 3/8" Minus Size Range

Fill material in a 3/8" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend consisting of crushed stone, gravel, or sand, with particles measuring up to 3/8 inch and including finer particles down to dust. This gradation allows the material to compact tightly, creating a stable base that resists shifting and settling over time.

The 3/8" minus sizing is ideal for applications where a smooth, level surface is required, such as under pavers, patios, walkways, and concrete slabs. Its fine particles fill voids between larger pieces, enhancing compaction and minimizing future settling. This makes it a popular choice for both residential landscaping projects and commercial site preparation. While its excellent compaction properties are a major advantage, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to coarser aggregates.
