Fill Materials
We deliver every gradeSand
Sand is small pieces of rock, mostly between about 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch across. The grains come from bigger rocks that broke down over time, either in a riverbed, on a beach, or inside a crusher at a quarry. Some grains are round and smooth from tumbling in water. Others are sharp and angular because they got crushed from bigger stone.
The word "sand" by itself doesn't tell you much. What matters is the grade you order: mason sand for mortar joints and paver bedding, concrete sand for mixing concrete or bedding pipe, fill sand for backfill and raising low spots, river sand for drainage. Sand is usually one of the cheaper things on the yard's price list because it's easy to dig and screen, and most yards sell it by the ton.

What people use it for
How to choose within sand
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.
