Slurry sled for filling trench holes
Improvements in a backfilling sled is disclosed the slurry sled for filling trench holes is pushed or pulled and receives a poured, flow-able medium such as sand or cement for example. The slurry sled self-centers itself over a trench dug or cut in various road or ground surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. The poured flow-able medium enters the top of the unit and flows through the bottom into a trench cut to a specific width and depth as it backfills and levels the backfill material to an evens surface to restore the road or ground surface.
