Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Concrete Sand, Washed, Type A (Brown)
Concrete sand in a Type A size range, washed and brown in color, is a high-quality aggregate specifically processed for use in concrete mixes and construction applications. This sand is produced by crushing, screening, and washing natural stone to remove impurities, resulting in clean, uniformly graded particles ideal for mixing with cement and aggregate.
The washed attribute ensures minimal dust and clay content, which improves the strength and finish of concrete while reducing the risk of cracks or weak spots. Type A sizing provides optimal particle distribution for workability and compaction, making it suitable for both structural and decorative concrete, as well as bedding for pavers, pipe laying, and as a leveling base for patios and walkways. The brown color offers a natural appearance that blends well with most landscapes. Pros include excellent drainage, reliable compaction, and a clean finish; however, the coarser texture may not be ideal for applications requiring a very smooth surface.
