Flowable Fill (CLSM) · Sacramento County
Flowable fill — controlled low-strength material (CLSM) — is a self-leveling, self-compacting slurry that replaces compacted backfill. It flows into trenches and voids, sets firm enough to support loads, and can be excavated later if the utility ever needs to come back up.
Volumetric batching is ideal for CLSM: quantities are metered on the spot, so a long trench or an odd-shaped void gets filled without guessing truckloads in advance.
From Clay, our yard is roughly a 26-mile run, close enough for reliable windows and call-ahead timing your finisher can actually plan around. Ask about mix options when you book: strength, slump, fiber, and admixtures are all set at batch time, because the batching happens at your curb instead of across town.
Clay is a Sacramento County community of roughly 1,195 residents, about 26 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 43–63 minutes for a mixer to reach, traffic willing.

Utility trench backfill, filling abandoned pipes, tanks, and vaults, and structural void fill. It eliminates compaction in lifts — the material consolidates itself and supports load when set.
Standard CLSM mixes are designed to be excavatable with normal equipment, which is why utilities prefer them over lean concrete for trench work. Tell us the intended use and we will batch the right strength.
A few days' notice books most residential pours; larger or inspected work benefits from more lead time. Same-day dispatch is sometimes possible — it never hurts to call.
