Sand (Blended Product)
Applications & Uses
Blended Sand Product
Blended sand is a construction aggregate created by combining different grades or types of sand to achieve a balanced mix of particle sizes and properties. This process ensures a consistent texture and performance, making it a versatile material for a wide range of building and landscaping applications.
The blended attribute means this sand offers improved compaction and stability compared to single-source sands. It is less likely to shift or settle unevenly, making it ideal for use as a base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways. Blended sand is also commonly used in mortar mixes, concrete production, and as a leveling agent for playgrounds and sports fields. Its uniformity reduces the risk of voids and enhances drainage, though it may not be as decorative as specialty sands. Overall, blended sand is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a stable, well-performing aggregate.
