Sand (Coarse, Stone)
Applications & Uses
Coarse Stone Sand
Coarse stone sand is a construction aggregate composed of larger, gritty sand particles derived from crushed stone. Unlike fine sand, its rough texture and irregular particle shapes provide enhanced stability and drainage, making it a versatile material for a variety of building and landscaping projects.
The coarse attribute of this sand means it resists compaction, allowing water to flow through easily-an essential quality for applications such as bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. It is also commonly used in concrete mixes where improved drainage and structural integrity are required. While its gritty texture is excellent for stability and drainage, it may not be ideal for finish work or areas requiring a smooth surface. Overall, coarse stone sand is valued for its strength, drainage properties, and reliability in both residential and commercial construction.
