Flowable Fill (CLSM) · El Dorado 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 Somerset 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. Repeat contractors get a rhythm going with the order desk — standing windows, familiar mixes, and a call-ahead system that keeps crews placing instead of waiting.
Somerset is a El Dorado County community of roughly 3,642 residents, about 46 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 80–100 minutes for a mixer to reach, traffic willing. Somerset sits toward the outer edge of our delivery range, so call the order desk at 916-449-2300 to confirm scheduling and any distance considerations for your address before you plan the pour.

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 Somerset pours are welcome; see our short-load page.
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.
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.
