Sand (#4 Minus, Screened)
Applications & Uses
Screened Sand (#4 Minus)
Screened sand in a #4 minus size range is a finely graded construction aggregate that has been processed through a screen to remove larger particles, resulting in a consistent, clean material. The "screened" attribute ensures that the sand is free from debris and oversized stones, making it ideal for applications where uniformity and smoothness are important.
The #4 minus sizing means all particles are smaller than 4.75 mm, which enhances compaction and creates a stable base. This makes screened sand especially suitable for use under pavers, in pipe bedding, as a leveling layer for patios, and for general backfill. Its fine texture also makes it a popular choice for playgrounds, sports fields, and landscaping projects. The main advantage of screened sand is its ease of workability and ability to create a smooth, even surface, though it may not provide as much drainage as coarser materials. Overall, it's a versatile option for both residential and commercial construction needs.
