Mason Sand (3/16″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Mason Sand in a 3/16" Minus Size Range
Mason sand in a 3/16" minus size range is a finely graded, natural sand commonly produced by washing and screening to remove larger particles and impurities. The "minus" designation means all particles are 3/16 inch or smaller, resulting in a smooth, consistent texture ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping uses.
This fine grading makes mason sand especially suitable for projects requiring a smooth, even finish, such as mixing mortar for brick or stonework, creating level bases for pavers, or filling joints between paving stones. Its small particle size also makes it a popular choice for playgrounds, volleyball courts, and as a topdressing for lawns. The main advantage of this sand is its workability and clean finish, though it is less suitable for applications needing significant drainage or compaction, such as base layers for heavy structures. Overall, mason sand in a 3/16" minus size is valued for its versatility and clean, professional results in both residential and commercial projects.
