Clay Fill for Basin Lining
Clay is a dense, fine-grained material commonly used for grading, embankments, and site preparation. Its ability to compact tightly makes it useful for projects that require stable fill and moisture control. We supply both fatty clay and lean clay to suit your specific project requirements. Our products have been used for sub bases, landfill construction, ponds and sculpting at various levels, and have been tested for ASTM D422, ASTM D318, ASTM D5084 and unit weight. This aggregate material is available for bulk delivery or pickup.

Why Choose Clay
Clay is valued for its strong compaction properties and ability to create stable fill layers. When properly installed and compacted, it provides long-term structural support for construction and grading projects.
This material is suitable for both contractor-grade earthworks and residential property improvements. Our inventory includes both fatty and lean clay varieties, ensuring you get the right plasticity and cohesion profile for your job site.
Material Type: Natural clay soil material.
Typical Composition: Fine-grained particles with high cohesion.
Color / Texture: Typically brown, reddish, or grey with a dense, smooth texture when compacted.
Drainage Characteristics: Low permeability, meaning it retains water and limits drainage.
Compaction: Compacts tightly, making it suitable for structural fill and grading.
Delivery Options: Available through bulk sand and gravel supply services with options for contractor pickup or bulk delivery.
Clay is used in several construction and site development projects where compaction and stability are important.
Construction: Structural fill for foundations, grading, and site preparation.
Landscaping: Creating slopes, berms, and landscape shaping.
Drainage Control: Used in areas where water retention or barrier layers are required.
Utility Projects: Backfill for trenches and infrastructure installations.
Earthworks: Embankments and large-scale land-shaping projects.

Can clay be delivered in bulk?
Yes. Clay is available for bulk delivery or pickup through sand and gravel supply services.
How much clay do I need for a project?
The amount required depends on the project area and depth of fill. Clay is shipped by the ton, ensuring you get the precise amount needed for your project.
What is clay used for in construction?
Clay is commonly used for structural fill, site grading, embankments, and moisture control layers in construction projects.
Is clay suitable for landscaping projects?
Yes. Clay can be used to create slopes, berms, and land shaping in landscaping and site development projects.
Does clay compact well?
Yes. Clay compacts tightly and forms a dense layer, making it suitable for fill and grading applications.
Is clay good for drainage projects?
Clay has low permeability and does not drain well. It is often used to slow or block water movement rather than promote drainage.
