Sand in a 3/8” Size Range
Sand in a 3/8" size range is a coarse aggregate material, typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or gravel. This larger particle size distinguishes it from finer sands, offering unique performance characteristics for specific construction needs.
The 3/8" size provides excellent drainage and stability, making it ideal for use as a bedding layer beneath pavers, flagstone, or concrete slabs. It is also commonly used in utility trenches, septic system installations, and as a base for playgrounds or sports fields. The coarser texture resists compaction, which helps prevent water pooling and promotes proper drainage. However, because it does not compact as tightly as finer sands, it may not be suitable for applications requiring a smooth, solid finish. Overall, 3/8" sand is valued for its drainage properties and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.Applications & Uses
