Screened Natural Sand in a 3/8" Size Range

Screened natural sand in a 3/8" size range is a versatile construction aggregate sourced from naturally occurring deposits and carefully screened to ensure uniform particle size. The screening process removes oversized materials and debris, resulting in a clean, consistent product ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

The 3/8" size offers a balance between drainage and compaction, making it suitable for use as a bedding layer under pavers, in concrete mixes, or as a base for patios and walkways. Its natural composition and screened quality mean fewer fines and less dust, which improves workability and reduces mess on job sites. This sand is also commonly used for playgrounds, sandboxes, and as a leveling material for above-ground pools. While it provides good drainage, it may not compact as tightly as finer sands, so it's best for applications where drainage and ease of leveling are priorities.
