Sand (Fine, Idot)
Applications & Uses
Fine, IDOT Sand
Fine, IDOT sand is a high-quality construction aggregate recognized for its uniform, small particle size and compliance with Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standards. This sand is typically produced by washing and screening natural deposits, resulting in a clean, consistent material free from debris and excessive dust.
The fine texture of this sand makes it ideal for applications requiring a smooth, even finish, such as masonry work, mortar mixes, and as a leveling base for pavers and bricks. Its IDOT certification ensures reliable performance and suitability for state and municipal projects, including road construction and concrete production. Fine sand compacts well, providing stability for bedding layers, but may not be suitable for drainage applications where coarser aggregates are preferred. Overall, fine, IDOT sand is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial construction, valued for its quality, consistency, and compliance with industry standards.
