Sand (Borrrow)
Applications & Uses
Borrow Sand
Borrow sand is a versatile construction aggregate sourced from natural deposits, typically used as a general fill material. Unlike specialty sands, borrow sand is not processed for uniformity or cleanliness, making it an economical choice for large-scale earthwork projects.
The "borrow" attribute indicates that this sand is primarily intended for use as structural fill, embankment, or backfill material. Its natural composition may include a mix of sand, silt, and small gravel, which helps provide stability and compaction when used beneath roads, building pads, or landscaping features. While not suitable for applications requiring a smooth or decorative finish, borrow sand is ideal for grading, leveling, and filling low areas. Its affordability and availability make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial site preparation, though it may contain more fines and organic material than washed or screened sands.
