Sand (3/8″ Minus, Natural)
Applications & Uses
Natural Sand in a 3/8" Minus Size Range
Natural sand in a 3/8" minus size range is a versatile aggregate composed of finely graded particles, with the largest pieces measuring up to 3/8 inch and smaller particles filling the gaps. Sourced directly from natural deposits, this sand is minimally processed, preserving its organic composition and texture.
The 3/8" minus grading ensures a blend of coarse and fine particles, which enhances compaction and stability while maintaining good drainage. This makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, leveling bases, and as a component in concrete mixes. Its natural attribute means fewer sharp edges, making it safer for playgrounds and landscaping projects. While it compacts well for stable surfaces, the presence of fines may reduce permeability compared to washed sands, so it's best suited for areas where moderate drainage is acceptable.
