Applications & Uses
Sand
Sand is a versatile construction aggregate composed of fine mineral particles, typically sourced from natural deposits or manufactured by crushing rock. Its fine texture makes it an essential material for a wide range of building and landscaping projects.
The small particle size of sand allows for excellent compaction and smooth finishes, making it ideal for use in concrete mixes, mortar, and as a leveling base for pavers and bricks. In addition to its structural uses, sand is commonly applied in playgrounds, sandboxes, and as a top dressing for lawns and sports fields. Its ability to promote drainage while providing stability is a key advantage, though it may not be suitable for load-bearing applications without proper compaction or blending with coarser materials.
