Crushed Stone Backfills for Pools, Trenches, and Walls

Backfill excavations correctly so structures stay stable and schedules stay on track. We place self-compacting pea stone with stone slinger trucks for fast, even coverage on pool removals, retaining walls, trenches, and foundation drains.

Poor Backfill Leads to Settlement, Callbacks, and Delays

Soil backfill settles and shifts. That creates depressions, cracks around hardscape, and stress on walls and utilities. Hand placement is slow and inconsistent, which invites rework and inspection issues. If a trench or wall is backfilled with the wrong material or depth, drainage fails and problems return. Stone backfill reduces settlement risk and protects the work you already paid to build.

Why More Teams Choose Stone Backfill from Superior

Cost Control

Slinging stone covers large areas quickly and limits crew hours on wheelbarrows.

Consistent Results

Self-compacting pea stone helps resist future settling and reinforces excavated areas.

Better Access

Slinger placement from up to 90 feet reaches difficult spots while protecting finished surfaces.

What Exactly Is Stone Backfill?

Stone backfill replaces material in an area that was previously excavated. Using self-compacting pea stone creates a sturdy, reliably filled space that protects structural integrity for pools, retaining walls, and trenches dug for foundation drainage.

We understand tight windows and tighter sites

You need target depths, clean edges, and minimal disruption around finished grades and structures. Our crews assess the site, size the material correctly, and place stone with slinger trucks so production stays high and surfaces stay intact.

We work with contractors, developers, and property managers who want the backfill done right the first time.

DIY vs partnering with Superior

Improperly filled areas settle and can damage adjacent work. DIY backfill often struggles with material choice, even coverage, and compaction. Our professional crews and slinger trucks deliver accurate depths and uniform placement, which reduces rework and protects the schedule.

Stone is far less likely to settle. It helps the site maintain shape and sturdiness over time.
