Sand (Class A)
Applications & Uses
Sand in Class A Size Range
Class A sand is a high-quality construction aggregate known for its consistent particle size and cleanliness. Produced by screening and washing natural deposits or crushed stone, this sand meets strict grading standards, ensuring uniformity and minimal impurities.
The Class A size range is ideal for applications where precise gradation and reliable compaction are essential. Its fine, even texture makes it suitable for use as a base material under pavers, in concrete mixes, and for pipe bedding. In residential projects, Class A sand is commonly used for leveling patios, playgrounds, and as a top dressing for lawns. Commercially, it's valued for its stability in road construction and utility installations. The main advantage of Class A sand is its excellent workability and compaction, though it may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates.
