What is A3 Fill Sand used for?

General-purpose fill sand (ASTM C33) for backfilling, trench restoration, concrete slab bases, site leveling, and drainage layer construction at an affordable bulk price.

Trench backfill & utility restoration
Compacts readily around buried pipes, conduits, and utility lines, providing stable encasement and restoring trench grade with minimal settlement over time.
Concrete slab base & sub-base
Spread and compact 4–6" of fill sand before pouring concrete slabs to create a stable, uniform bearing surface and act as a capillary break against moisture.
Site leveling & grade prep
Fill depressions, low spots, and uneven areas efficiently across large sites. Fill sand spreads and compacts evenly for consistent bearing capacity across the project footprint.
Drainage layers & septic systems
The moderate drainage characteristics of fill sand make it appropriate for drainage blanket layers in septic systems, French drains, and retaining wall drainage zones.
Sports field base construction
Used as a sub-base or root zone construction layer in athletic fields and sports turf installations where a well-drained, load-bearing sand layer is required.
Backfill around retaining walls
Fills the backfill zone adjacent to retaining walls and below-grade structures, compacting well and providing lateral support without the drainage restrictions of clay soils.
Not ideal for these applications:
  • Not ideal for finished driveway surfaces (too soft)
  • Not ideal for structural concrete aggregate (too fine)
  • Not ideal for children's play areas (not play-safe certified)
  • Not ideal for high-plasticity expansive soils
