Sand (1/4″, Screened)
Applications & Uses
Screened Sand in a 1/4" Size Range
Screened sand in a 1/4" size range is a finely processed construction aggregate, produced by passing natural sand through screens to remove oversized particles and debris. This screening process ensures a consistent, clean product with uniform grain size, making it ideal for applications where smoothness and even compaction are essential.
The 1/4" size offers excellent workability and compaction, making it suitable for use as a base material under pavers, patios, and walkways, as well as for leveling surfaces in landscaping projects. Its screened attribute reduces the presence of clay, silt, and organic matter, resulting in less dust and improved drainage compared to unscreened sand. While it compacts well for stable surfaces, it may not be ideal for projects requiring very fine or decorative sand. Overall, screened 1/4" sand is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial construction needs.
