Sand (#10)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a #10 Size Range
Sand in a #10 size range is a finely graded construction aggregate, with particles small enough to pass through a #10 sieve (2 mm openings). This fine texture makes it ideal for applications where a smooth, even finish is essential. Typically sourced from natural deposits or produced by crushing and screening larger aggregates, #10 sand is free-flowing and easy to work with.
The fine grading of #10 sand enhances its performance in projects requiring precise leveling and minimal voids, such as masonry work, paving stone bedding, and as a component in mortar mixes. It is also commonly used for playgrounds, golf course bunkers, and as a top dressing for lawns. The small particle size allows for excellent compaction and a smooth surface, but it may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser sands. Overall, #10 sand is valued for its versatility, workability, and ability to create clean, professional finishes in both residential and commercial construction.
