Sand - Mndot, Class D

Mndot Class D sand is a high-quality construction aggregate specifically graded to meet Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) standards. This sand is carefully processed to ensure consistent particle size and cleanliness, making it ideal for projects that require reliable performance and compliance with state specifications.

The Class D size range is engineered for optimal compaction and drainage, which is essential for use in road base layers, pipe bedding, and concrete mixes. Its uniform grading helps prevent settling and promotes stability, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial construction. The Mndot attribute ensures low silt and clay content, reducing dust and improving workability. While this sand is excellent for structural applications, it may not be the best choice for decorative landscaping due to its utilitarian appearance.
