Fill Material (3″ To 4″ Minus)

Fill Material in a 3” to 4” Minus Size Range

Fill material in a 3" to 4" minus size range is a versatile aggregate blend consisting of rocks and fines, with the largest pieces measuring up to 4 inches. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening quarried stone, resulting in a mix of coarse fragments and smaller particles. The "minus" designation means that all material passes through a 4-inch screen, ensuring a range of sizes down to fine particles.




The larger size range provides excellent bulk and stability, making it ideal for large-scale fill projects, such as building up subgrades, backfilling retaining walls, or leveling uneven terrain. The inclusion of fines helps the material compact well, reducing voids and increasing load-bearing capacity. While it is not suitable for finished surfaces due to its coarse texture, this fill material is valued for its affordability and effectiveness in establishing a solid base for roads, foundations, and other construction projects. However, its larger size can make it harder to achieve a smooth finish, and it may require additional top layers for landscaping or paving applications.
