Sand (Percolation, Drainage)
Applications & Uses
Sand with Percolation and Drainage Properties
Sand engineered for optimal percolation and drainage is a versatile construction aggregate prized for its ability to allow water to flow freely through its particles. This material is typically sourced from natural deposits or manufactured by crushing and screening stone, resulting in a clean, granular product with minimal fines.
The key attribute of enhanced percolation and drainage makes this sand ideal for applications where water management is critical. It is commonly used in residential and commercial projects such as French drains, septic system installations, sports field bases, and underlayment for pavers or patios. Its free-draining nature helps prevent water pooling and soil erosion, promoting a stable foundation and healthier landscapes. While this sand is excellent for drainage, it may not compact as tightly as finer or more angular materials, so it is less suitable for load-bearing surfaces. Overall, it is a reliable choice for projects requiring efficient water movement and soil stabilization.
