Select Fill is a clean, compactable soil material used for structural support and precise site grading. Typically consisting of a controlled blend of sand and clay with minimal organic matter or debris, select fill is chosen for projects that require consistent compaction, stability, and predictable performance. It compacts tightly to form a firm, load-bearing base while helping reduce settlement in construction areas.
Because of its uniform composition, select fill is commonly specified for engineered projects where stronger and more controlled fill material is required than standard fill dirt.
Common applications for Select Fill
- Building pad and foundation preparation
- Site leveling and grade correction
- Structural backfill around foundations and retaining walls
- Roadway and construction base preparation
- Utility trench backfill and site stabilization
