Flowable Fill (CLSM) · Yolo 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.
Davis sits about 12 miles from our yard, and here's why that barely matters: the concrete isn't mixed until the truck is parked at your forms. Distance affects our drive, never your mix quality. Site prep makes or breaks pour day: firm, stable ground for the rig, forms staked and squared, and a washout spot sorted before the truck arrives. Our Before You Order guide covers the full checklist.
Davis is a Yolo County community of roughly 67,666 residents, about 12 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 14–34 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.
Formed and staked forms, clear truck access, someone authorized on site, and a washout area. Our Before You Order guide walks through all of it.
No minimum-truckload games — volumetric mixing means we batch on site and you pay for the yardage actually poured. Small Davis pours are welcome; see our short-load page.
Tell us what you're pouring and when. We'll bring the mix to your site and meter it by the yard — so every dollar you spend ends up in the forms.
