Sand (3/8″, Bedding)
Applications & Uses
Sand Bedding in a 3/8" Size Range
Sand bedding in a 3/8" size range is a versatile construction aggregate, specifically processed to provide a stable, even base for a variety of projects. This material consists of fine to medium sand particles, screened to ensure consistent sizing, which enhances its performance as a bedding layer.
The 3/8" size range is ideal for bedding because it offers excellent compaction while still allowing for proper drainage. This makes it a preferred choice for laying pavers, bricks, and flagstones in patios, walkways, and driveways. It is also commonly used as a base for above-ground pools, playgrounds, and utility trenches. The fine texture of bedding sand helps create a smooth, level surface, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. While it compacts well, it is not suitable for areas requiring high drainage rates, as finer particles can retain moisture. Overall, sand bedding in this size range is valued for its ease of installation and reliable performance in both residential and commercial applications.
