Coarse Sand in a 1/4” Size Range
Coarse sand in a 1/4" size range is a durable, granular construction aggregate composed of larger sand particles. Unlike fine sand, this material features a gritty texture and increased particle size, which enhances its structural properties. Coarse sand is typically sourced from natural deposits or manufactured by crushing and screening stone, ensuring consistent sizing and minimal fines.
The 1/4" size makes this sand ideal for applications requiring excellent drainage and stability, such as bedding for pavers, concrete mixes, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. Its coarse texture prevents compaction, allowing water to flow freely-making it a top choice for drainage systems and septic installations. While it may not provide the smoothest finish for plastering or play areas, its superior drainage and load-bearing capabilities make it highly valued in both residential landscaping and commercial construction projects.Applications & Uses
