Fill Material (3/8″ Minus, Lime)

Fill Material with Lime, 3/8" Minus

Fill material with lime in a 3/8" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend designed for construction and landscaping projects requiring stable, compactable fill. The "3/8" minus" specification means the material contains particles up to 3/8 inch in size, along with finer particles and dust, which help it compact tightly and create a solid base.

The addition of lime enhances the fill's binding properties, improving stability and reducing moisture retention. This makes it especially suitable for sub-base layers under roads, driveways, patios, and building pads, as well as for backfilling and grading. The fine gradation allows for excellent compaction, minimizing settling over time, while the lime content helps control soil plasticity and increases load-bearing capacity. However, the presence of fines means it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to coarser aggregates. Overall, this material is ideal for projects where a firm, stable foundation is essential.
