Applications & Uses
Sand for Drainage and Septic Applications
Sand with drainage and septic attributes is a high-quality, naturally occurring or manufactured aggregate specifically selected for its ability to promote rapid water movement. This sand is typically screened to remove fines and organic material, ensuring a clean, consistent product ideal for sensitive applications.
The drainage and septic attribute means this sand is especially effective at preventing water pooling and facilitating percolation, making it a preferred choice for septic system installations, French drains, and other drainage solutions. Its granular structure resists compaction, allowing water to flow freely while providing a stable base. Common uses include residential and commercial septic system beds, drainage trenches, and as a base layer beneath pavers or retaining walls where water management is critical. The main advantage of this sand is its excellent drainage capability, though it is not suitable for applications requiring compaction or structural strength.
