Screened Sand in a 3/8" Size Range

Screened sand in a 3/8" size range is a versatile construction aggregate produced by passing natural sand through a screening process to remove oversized particles and debris. This ensures a consistent, clean product with uniform grain size, making it ideal for a variety of building and landscaping applications.

The 3/8" size strikes a balance between fine and coarse sand, providing good compaction while still allowing for adequate drainage. This makes screened sand particularly suitable for use as a base material under pavers, in concrete mixes, for pipe bedding, and as a leveling layer for patios and walkways. Its screened attribute means less dust and fewer impurities, resulting in a cleaner work environment and improved finished appearance. While it may not compact as tightly as finer sands, its stability and drainage properties make it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.
