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.
Rancho Cordova 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. Repeat contractors get a rhythm going with dispatch — standing windows, familiar mixes, and a call-ahead system that keeps crews placing instead of waiting.
Rancho Cordova is a Sacramento County community of roughly 71,017 residents, about 12 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 16–36 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.
