Fill Materials Gravel

Fill gravel is a loose mix of rock and small stones used to bulk up low ground before you put anything on top. The pieces run from small pebbles up to a couple inches across, with sand and dust mixed in. It's not washed or screened to a tight spec, so what shows up in your load is whatever came out of the pit that day. That's why it packs down well once you drive over it or run a plate compactor across it.

You'll hear the same rock called bank run, pit run, or just fill. Those names all mean the gravel goes straight from the ground into the truck with no washing or sorting step. Because there's no extra processing, it's one of the cheapest rocks you can buy by the yard. That's why it's the go-to when you need to fill a hole, raise a low yard, or backfill behind a wall and you don't need a pretty finish on top.

How to choose within fill materials gravel

Under something heavy

Use structural fill — angular, clean, compactable — under a slab, driveway, or foundation.

Just raising grade

General fill works — it's cheap dirt that levels a yard, patches a hole, or brings a low spot up to grade.

Never the top layer

Fill goes under, not on. Topsoil or a wear layer goes on top — fill won't grow anything and it won't hold up traffic.
