A natural blend of dirt, clay, and sand that has not been processed. This material used primarily for fill. It has not been processed so it can be fairly clumpy. There is no organic matter added to it and it compacts very well. Fill sand can be worked by hand, but it is not easy. It should be top-dressed with a processed soil before planting.
Uses
- Backfilling holes or trenches over 12” deep.
- Filling holes where good compaction is needed, such as where something will be built over the filled area.
- Cost-effective alternative for filling areas by hand too deep to use processed soils.
