Concrete Sand (Dot, Concrete, Grey)
Applications & Uses
Concrete Sand (DOT, Concrete Grade) - Grey
Concrete sand with DOT (Department of Transportation) and concrete-grade attributes is a high-quality, grey-colored aggregate specifically produced for use in concrete mixes and road construction. This sand is manufactured by crushing, screening, and washing natural stone to achieve a consistent, clean product that meets strict DOT specifications for particle size and cleanliness.
The DOT and concrete-grade designation ensures that this sand is free of clay, silt, and organic materials, resulting in superior bonding and strength in concrete applications. Its uniform texture and gradation make it ideal for mixing with cement and gravel to create durable, stable concrete for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and commercial slabs. Additionally, it is commonly used as a leveling base for pavers and as a bedding material for pipes. The clean, well-graded nature of this sand promotes excellent drainage and compaction, though it may not be suitable for decorative finishes due to its utilitarian appearance.
