Sand Blend (Clay)
Applications & Uses
Sand Blend with Clay
Sand Blend with clay is a versatile construction material composed of a mixture of sand and natural clay particles. This blend is typically produced by combining screened sand with a controlled amount of clay, resulting in a material that offers both the granular texture of sand and the cohesive properties of clay.
The presence of clay in the sand blend enhances its binding ability, making it ideal for applications where compaction and stability are important. This combination is commonly used for creating sub-bases under pavers, as a base for sports fields, or for horse arenas, where a firm yet slightly flexible surface is desired. In landscaping, it's often used for leveling and filling low spots, as the clay content helps the material stay in place and resist erosion. However, the clay component can reduce drainage compared to pure sand, so it may not be suitable for areas requiring rapid water runoff.
