Bank Run Fill Gravel
Fill Material
Bank Run Fill Gravel Overview
Bank run fill gravel is a cost-effective fill material made of sand, dirt, and stone. It is called bank run because it is not screened gravel, meaning the material you receive came directly from the gravel bank without much filtration. The fill part of its name refers to the variety in size of the rock fragments in it.
What Is Bank Run Gravel Used For?
Because it compacts well and resists erosion, bank run fill gravel is also widely used in a variety of landscaping, driveway, and road base applications as well as for backfill (meaning you refill a hole with the material you dug out of it). Bank run fill gravel is great at holding pavers (stones made of concrete, brick, porcelain, or natural stone that you often see in landscapes or patios) in place. This is because the stone and dust that make up this type of gravel merge instead of spreading out like other types of gravel.
