Concrete Aggregate

Concrete Sand

Concrete sand is a coarse, washed sand screened to a specific size range so it works in a concrete mix. The grains run from about 3/8 inch down to fine dust, with the silt and clay rinsed out. The pieces are angular, so they lock together and grip cement paste when you mix a batch.

The name comes from ASTM C33, the spec that sets the sieve sizes fine sand has to meet for structural concrete. Any rock type that fits the gradation counts, whether that's granite, limestone, or river sand. Pricing sits close to other washed sands, and you'll usually pay a few dollars more per ton than fill sand because the extra washing and screening cost money.

How to choose within concrete sand

Match the mix design

Batch plants and ready-mix trucks work to a spec. Confirm the size and gradation the plant is running before you order.

Coarse vs. fine

Coarse aggregate gives the mix its strength; fine aggregate fills the gaps. A slab needs both — usually delivered separately and blended at the plant.

Cleanliness matters

Fines and clay contamination weaken the cure. If a load looks dusty, ask for a wash spec sheet before you take delivery.
