- Fill, topsoil, sand, and stone for grading and landscaping
- Construction aggregates for base and compaction
- Tight coordination with site work and concrete schedules

Materials & common uses

Fill dirt — common uses
- Foundation support: compactable base for homes, roads, driveways, and parking lots.
- Grading and leveling: fills low spots, sinkholes, and excavations to limit future erosion.
- Landscaping and contouring: terraces, berms, water features, and site topography changes.
- Backfilling: around retaining walls, foundations, and underground utilities after construction.
- Drainage correction: reshapes grade to direct water away from foundations.
Topsoil — common uses
- Lawn repair: bare spots, uneven ground, and top-dressing for healthier turf.
- Gardening and raised beds: base fill and compost mixes for flowers and vegetables.
- Landscaping: shaping, erosion repair, and replacing soil removed during construction.
- Soil quality: improves sandy or heavy clay soils for nutrients, drainage, and aeration.
Limestone — key uses
- Cement manufacturing: primary ingredient in Portland cement (heated with clay).
- Concrete and construction: crushed aggregate for concrete, roads, and railway track base.
- Building materials: dimensional stone for facades, walls, and flooring.
- Agricultural treatment: raises pH of acidic soils to improve nutrient availability.
- Steel production: flux in blast furnaces to remove impurities as slag.
Asphalt — key uses
- Road construction: durable, flexible pavement for varying climates.
- Roofing shingles: waterproof, cost-effective coverage (often with protective granules).
- Parking lots and driveways: low maintenance, quick installation, resilient surfaces.
- Airport runways: high strength for heavy aircraft loads.
- Waterproofing: sealant for foundations, bridges, and tunnels.
- Recreational surfaces: tennis courts, running tracks, and playgrounds.
Recycled concrete — common uses
- Road and driveway base: graded crushed concrete (e.g. CA6-class) as a stable subgrade.
- New concrete: processed RCA as aggregate in quality mixes where specified.
- Structural fill and backfill: trenches, voids, and building pads during development.
- Erosion control: larger pieces for shoreline, creek bed, and slope stabilization.
- Landscaping and drainage: retaining walls, French drains, and walk bases with good permeability.
Sand — key uses
- Construction: aggregate in concrete, asphalt, brick, and paving; leveling and foundation fill.
- Glass manufacturing: high-quality quartz sand melted into bottles, windows, and containers.
- Technology: silica sand in silicon production for microelectronics.
- Landscaping and gardening: drainage improvement, sandboxes, pool bases, and paver bedding.
- Industrial: sandblasting, water filtration, and winter traction on icy roads.
- Safety: sandbags for flood control and temporary barriers.
Clay — key uses
- Construction: bricks, roof tiles, pipe, cement components; soil stabilization and landfill sealing.
- Ceramics: kaolin and other clays for porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware.
- Sports surfaces: crushed brick clay tennis courts for traction and a more forgiving surface than hard courts.
- Player comfort: softer play reduces joint strain; sliding replaces abrupt stops.
- Play characteristics: slower ball speed and cooler surfaces when moisture is managed.
