Fill Material (3″ Minus)

Fill Material in a 3” Minus Size Range

Fill material in a 3" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend consisting of rocks, gravel, and fines, all screened to ensure no particles exceed 3 inches in diameter. This material is typically produced from quarried stone or recycled concrete, then crushed and graded to meet the specified size requirements.




The 3" minus sizing means the fill contains a mix of larger stones and smaller particles, which allows for excellent compaction and stability. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base in road construction, building pads, and large-scale site grading. It is also commonly used for backfilling retaining walls, filling large voids, and creating stable foundations for heavy structures. While its coarse nature provides strength and support, it is not suitable for applications requiring a smooth or decorative finish. The presence of fines helps bind the material together, reducing voids and improving load-bearing capacity, but may limit drainage compared to cleaner, more uniformly sized aggregates.
