Sand (#16 To #4)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a #16 to #4 Size Range
Sand graded from #16 to #4 is a versatile construction aggregate featuring particle sizes that range from fine to coarse. This gradation is typically produced by screening natural or manufactured sand to ensure consistent sizing, making it suitable for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The #16 to #4 size range offers a balance between compaction and drainage. Finer particles (#16) help fill voids for a smoother, more stable surface, while the coarser particles (#4) enhance drainage and reduce the risk of shifting. This makes the material ideal for use as a bedding layer under pavers, in concrete mixes, or as a base for patios and walkways. It is also commonly used for pipe bedding, playgrounds, and as a leveling material in both residential and commercial projects. The gradation provides good workability and compaction, though it may not be suitable for applications requiring either very fine or very coarse sand exclusively.
