Select Backfill Fill Material

Select backfill fill material is a specially chosen aggregate used primarily for filling and leveling areas during construction. This material is screened and processed to meet specific standards, ensuring it is free from large debris, organic matter, and excessive moisture. The "select" attribute means it is of higher quality and consistency compared to general fill, making it ideal for structural and foundational applications.

Select backfill is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects for backfilling around foundations, utility trenches, retaining walls, and under slabs. Its controlled composition allows for better compaction and stability, reducing the risk of settling over time. The absence of a specified size range means it is versatile for various fill needs, but it may not be suitable where precise grading or drainage is required. Overall, select backfill fill material offers reliable performance for projects where structural integrity and compaction are priorities.
