Sand (#24, Stone Sand)
Applications & Uses
Sand - Stone Sand, #24 Size Range
Stone sand in the #24 size range is a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality stone, resulting in a consistent, granular material. Unlike natural sand, stone sand is manufactured by mechanically crushing rock, which gives it angular particles and a uniform texture. The #24 size indicates a fine gradation, making it ideal for applications where a smooth, compactable base is essential.
The fine, angular nature of #24 stone sand enhances its compaction properties, making it an excellent choice for bedding pavers, creating stable sub-bases for patios, walkways, and driveways, or as a leveling layer beneath concrete slabs. Its manufactured consistency also reduces voids, improving load distribution and minimizing settling over time. While its fine texture is less suitable for drainage applications compared to coarser aggregates, it excels in projects requiring a smooth, stable surface. Both DIYers and contractors appreciate stone sand for its workability and reliable performance in residential and commercial construction.
