Soil (3/8″, Cinder)
Applications & Uses
3/8" Cinder Soil
3/8" cinder soil is a lightweight, porous aggregate created from volcanic cinder blended with soil. The cinder component gives this material excellent drainage properties and a loose, airy structure, making it ideal for applications where water management and root aeration are important.
The 3/8" size range ensures a balance between stability and permeability-large enough to prevent compaction, yet small enough for easy handling and mixing. This makes cinder soil especially popular for landscaping, raised garden beds, and as a base for turf or pavers. In commercial settings, it's often used for green roofs, sports fields, and specialty horticultural projects.
Pros include its lightweight nature, superior drainage, and resistance to compaction, which promotes healthy plant growth. However, its loose structure may not be suitable for load-bearing applications or areas requiring firm compaction. Overall, 3/8" cinder soil is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial landscaping where drainage and soil health are priorities.
