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.
If Foothill Farms weather turns on pour day, on-site batching is forgiving: nothing is mixed until conditions and crew are ready, so a pushed start costs patience, not a load of concrete. 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.

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.

No minimum-truckload games — volumetric mixing means we batch on site and you pay for the yardage actually poured. Small Foothill Farms 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.
