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.
Scheduling for Elk Grove runs through our order desk: pick a window, get a call-ahead when the mixer is rolling, and have your forms staked and site accessible when it arrives. 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.
Elk Grove is a Sacramento County community of roughly 166,913 residents, about 15 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 20–40 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.
