Pit Run
C$7.50
Pit run is a low-cost, mixed aggregate used primarily for basic fill and ground build-up. This material comes straight out of the ground and contains a natural blend of rock, sand, dirt, and fines, with larger pieces typically up to approximately 6–7 inches. It is not washed or screened, giving it a rough, uneven appearance and a muddy texture when wet. Pit run is best suited for projects where cost matters more than finish quality. It is commonly used as a simple, economical fill material for large-volume applications.
