Fill (Rock and Dirt Fill) for Site Filling and Raising","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeneral Fill is the most affordable way to add volume to a project on the Big Island. It is a loose, unsorted mix of rock and dirt straight from the source, with no fixed size and no set ratio between the two, so the rock varies from one part of the load to the next. That rough, natural blend is exactly what makes it the right call when the goal is simply to add bulk, raise low ground, build up a low-lying site, or pack out large holes and old excavations where a clean, graded material would be a waste of money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the mix carries soil and the rock is uneven, General Fill is meant for bulk filling rather than as a finished surface or a compacted base. It does not lock together the way a graded base course does, so it is best placed as a lower lift and then capped with 6 Inch Minus or a base course wherever the surface needs to be firm and stable. Plan to move and spread it with heavy equipment such as an excavator or loader, since this is volume material rather than something you shovel by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also pays to match the fill to the job before it arrives. On wet, windward sites where water tends to sit, a soil-heavy fill holds moisture, so talk through your plan with your contractor and decide whether General Fill belongs at the base of the build or whether a cleaner rock is the better fit for that layer.

It is the heavy-duty answer for filling, leveling, and raising large areas when you want far more rock and far less soil than General Fill provides. Because it comes off the crusher in its rawest form, the load includes a wide spread of rock sizes that knit together well under their own weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is true bulk material, so an excavator or loader is needed to move and place it. Pit Run is at its best as the first lift on a deep fill or a large pad, where its size and weight form a stable foundation for the finer, graded layers that follow. Spread it, work it level, then build up from there with 6 Inch Minus and a base course to reach a firm finished grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are weighing Pit Run against General Fill, the deciding factor is usually how much soil you want in the layer. General Fill is cheaper and carries more dirt, which suits simple volume work, while Pit Run gives a rockier, more stable base for anything that will carry structure or traffic later.
