Fill Material (3″ To 4″ Minus, Backfill)
Applications & Uses
Fill Material for Backfill, 3" to 4" Minus
Fill material in a 3" to 4" minus size range, specifically designated for backfill, is a coarse aggregate blend containing particles up to 4 inches in diameter, with smaller fines included. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or recycled concrete, resulting in a mix of larger chunks and finer particles.
The 3" to 4" minus sizing provides excellent bulk and stability, making it ideal for filling large voids, supporting foundations, or backfilling retaining walls and trenches. The inclusion of fines helps the material compact well, reducing future settling and providing a solid base for further construction. Common applications include residential and commercial site preparation, utility trench backfill, and road subbase construction. While its coarse nature offers strong support and drainage, it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or decorative finish.
