Engineered Fill Material, 4" Minus

Engineered fill material in a 4" minus size range is a specially processed aggregate blend designed for structural backfill and site grading. "4" minus" means the material contains particles up to 4 inches in diameter, along with smaller sizes down to fines, ensuring optimal compaction and stability. As an engineered product, it is manufactured to meet specific gradation and performance standards, reducing the risk of settling and providing reliable load-bearing support.

This material is ideal for large-scale residential and commercial applications such as building pads, road subbases, embankment fills, and utility trench backfill. The broad size range allows for excellent compaction, while the engineered consistency minimizes voids and enhances structural integrity. While its coarse nature makes it less suitable for surface finishes or decorative use, it excels in foundational roles where stability and compaction are critical.
