Meramec Fine Sand

Meramec fine sand is a high-quality, naturally rounded sand sourced from the Meramec River region. Its fine grain size provides a smooth, uniform texture, making it ideal for applications where a refined finish is essential. The Meramec attribute refers to its distinctive, clean, and attractive appearance, as well as its excellent drainage properties due to the natural roundness of the grains.

This fine sand is commonly used in residential and commercial projects such as playgrounds, sandboxes, volleyball courts, and as a topdressing for lawns or golf courses. It is also popular for mixing into mortar, creating smooth bedding layers for pavers, and as a decorative accent in landscaping. The fine, rounded particles are gentle on bare feet and easy to spread, but may be less suitable for applications requiring high compaction or structural stability. Overall, Meramec fine sand is valued for its versatility, clean appearance, and user-friendly texture.
