DRAINAGE MATERIALS SAND
Reference onlySand (#8 To #4, Drainage)
Sand in the #8 to #4 size range is specifically selected for its excellent drainage properties. This material consists of coarse sand particles, larger than typical play sand but smaller than gravel, making it ideal for applications where water needs to move freely through the substrate. The sand is typically sourced from natural deposits and screened to ensure consistent sizing.
