Sand (#8 To #4, Squeegie)
Applications & Uses
Squeegie Sand (#8 to #4 Size Range)
Squeegie sand in the #8 to #4 size range is a specialized aggregate composed of fine, uniformly graded particles that are slightly coarser than typical play sand. This material is produced by screening and washing natural sand to achieve a consistent particle size, resulting in a clean, low-dust product.
The #8 to #4 size range offers excellent drainage while maintaining stability, making squeegie sand ideal for applications such as bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, and as a leveling layer under concrete slabs. Its coarser texture compared to finer sands helps prevent shifting and settling, while the washed attribute reduces dust and debris, ensuring a cleaner work environment. Squeegie sand is also commonly used in landscaping, playgrounds, and as a base for artificial turf. While it compacts less than finer sands, its superior drainage and clean finish make it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects where stability and cleanliness are priorities.
