Fill Material (3″ Minus, Screened)
Applications & Uses
Screened Fill Material, 3" Minus
Screened fill material in a 3" minus size range is a versatile aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping projects. This material consists of a blend of soil, sand, and small rock fragments, all passed through a screen to ensure that no particles exceed 3 inches in diameter. The screening process removes oversized debris, resulting in a more uniform and workable product compared to unscreened fill.
The 3" minus sizing allows for effective filling of large voids and uneven terrain, making it ideal for site grading, backfilling foundations, and building up low areas. Its screened attribute ensures fewer large clumps and better compaction, which is beneficial for creating stable sub-bases under roads, driveways, and slabs. While it compacts well, screened fill material is not typically used as a finished surface due to its coarse texture. It is valued for its affordability and efficiency in bulk earthwork, though it may not be suitable where a finer, smoother finish is required.
