Sand (Cushion, Road)

Sand with Cushion and Road Attributes

Cushion and road sand is a versatile construction aggregate known for its fine, consistent texture and excellent compaction properties. Produced by screening and washing natural sand deposits, this material is free of large particles and debris, making it ideal for applications where a smooth, stable base is essential.




The cushion attribute means this sand is particularly well-suited for use beneath pavers, concrete slabs, and as a bedding layer for pipes, providing a level and supportive foundation that helps prevent shifting and settling. Its road attribute indicates suitability for use in road construction, where it serves as a base or fill material, offering good drainage while maintaining stability under load. Common uses include residential patios, walkways, playgrounds, and as a leveling layer in landscaping projects. Pros include easy workability, excellent compaction, and reduced risk of voids, while a potential con is that it may not be suitable for decorative top layers due to its plain appearance.
