Fill Material (Idot) - Blue

Fill material with the Idot attribute in a distinctive blue color is a versatile aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. This material is typically sourced from natural deposits or quarried stone, then processed to meet specific standards for compaction and stability. The Idot designation indicates compliance with Illinois Department of Transportation specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

The blue color can be advantageous for visual identification during installation or for projects where aesthetics are a consideration. Idot-approved fill material is ideal for backfilling foundations, leveling subgrades, and preparing sites for pavement or landscaping. Its reliable compaction properties make it suitable for road base, utility trenches, and other structural applications. While not typically used as a decorative surface, its stability and compliance with regulatory standards make it a trusted choice for foundational work.
