Mason Sand (#4 Minus, Masonry)
Applications & Uses
Mason Sand, Masonry Grade, #4 Minus
Mason sand in a #4 minus size range is a finely graded aggregate specifically tailored for masonry applications. Produced by crushing, screening, and washing natural sand deposits, this material features particles that pass through a #4 sieve (4.75 mm) and include finer grains, resulting in a smooth, consistent texture ideal for mixing with cement or lime.
The #4 minus sizing ensures excellent workability and a uniform finish, making it perfect for mortar mixes, bricklaying, block work, and stone veneer installations. Its fine, masonry-grade composition allows for tight joints and strong bonds, while minimizing shrinkage and cracking. Additionally, mason sand is commonly used for leveling pavers, creating smooth underlayment for patios, and as a base for pool installations. The primary advantage of this sand is its superior finish and ease of use, though its fine texture means it is not suitable for drainage or structural fill applications.
