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 Florin runs through our dispatch desk: pick a window, get a call-ahead when the mixer is rolling, and have your forms staked and site accessible when it arrives. First concrete order? Two tools make it easy: the yardage calculator for a working estimate, and a phone call with dispatch to sanity-check quantity, access, and timing.

Florin is a Sacramento County community of roughly 47,513 residents, about 9 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 10–29 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.
