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.

Precise Placement
Low Settlement
Faster Backfill

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.

What are the steps to complete a stone backfill?

We compact for even coverage so the area is stable and ready for the next phase.

I've been installing landscapes and hydroseeding my entire adult life. We hired this company for a very large and complicated project to blow compost. We had such a great experience we used them to hydromulch the site when we finished native seeding. They moved their schedule twice to meet conditions and were happy to do so. They were very professional, the crew was very polite, they went way above and beyond to make sure it was easy for us and our client. I cant say enough good about the people, the company, and the work. I look forward to getting to use them on another project in the future.

This company is amazing. They came out on Monday and did and amazing job. They prepared the lawn, removing a lot of rocks. They did an amazing job for erosion control. They were professional and communicated from the beginning. Tuesday, Buckets of rain. All the prep work, hydroseed washed away. Were the erosion mats were laid did exactly what it was supposed to do but no company can prepare for the amount of water that God released. Wednesday, I called and talked to Bill. Whom I had been in contact with from the beginning. Bill stopped by house, told me he had a truck in the area. A crew was out there fixing the yard and re-hydroseeded my yard without extra cost. I could not have been happier of their professionalism and customer service. I would highly recommend Superior if your in need of hydroseeding.

We have had a great experience with hiring Superior Groundcover to complete our hydroseeding for our home. From the moment we spoke with Bill, we knew we could trust the work to be done the right way. Bill educated us on the process and was always available to answer any questions we had. Also, his team was quick, efficient and professional. We would highly recommend working with this company for your hydroseeding project.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Called Terry on a short notice to try to get mulch in on a project that meant a lot to me. Even in their busiest time of year he managed to make it happen for me within the timeline I needed it. His guys were knowledgeable and very polite. They knew exactly how much mulch I was going to need to finish the project and got it done. They also blew the area spotless and even managed to clean up some of my mess in the process. All around 10/10 company and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else!
