Sand (3/8″, Natural)
Applications & Uses
Natural Sand in a 3/8" Size Range
Natural sand in a 3/8" size range is a versatile aggregate sourced directly from riverbeds or quarries, retaining its original, unprocessed texture and composition. Unlike manufactured or crushed sand, natural sand features smooth, rounded particles that result from years of natural weathering and erosion.
The 3/8" size range offers a coarser texture than typical fine sands, making it ideal for applications where improved drainage and reduced compaction are desired. This size is commonly used in bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. It is also suitable for mixing with concrete or mortar where a slightly larger grain is beneficial for strength and stability. The natural attribute ensures minimal dust and a more comfortable surface for landscaping or recreational areas. However, its coarser size may not be suitable for finish work or applications requiring a smooth, compacted surface.
