3" Fill Material

3" fill material is a coarse aggregate composed of a mix of soil, sand, gravel, and stone fragments, with individual pieces up to 3 inches in size. This material is typically sourced from excavation or quarry processes and is not screened or washed, resulting in a blend of particle sizes and textures.

The large 3" size range makes this fill material ideal for bulk fill applications where compaction and stability are more important than a smooth finish. It is commonly used in residential and commercial projects for backfilling large voids, raising ground levels, or providing a stable base for roads, driveways, and building pads. While its coarse nature allows for good drainage and rapid placement, it is not suitable for areas requiring a fine, compacted surface or for use as a top layer. Its affordability and availability make it a practical choice for large-scale earthwork and foundational projects.
