Select Fill

$18.50 / ton

Engineered select fill, a screened sand and clay blend held to a plasticity index of roughly 7 to 20 with no roots, trash or high shrink clay. It compacts to standard Proctor density in lifts, which is what pad and slab specifications call for. Ordinary fill dirt is not a substitute.
