Sand with NYSDOT Specification

Sand meeting NYSDOT (New York State Department of Transportation) specifications is a high-quality construction aggregate rigorously tested for consistency, cleanliness, and gradation. This sand is typically sourced from natural deposits and processed to meet strict state standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.

The NYSDOT attribute signifies that the sand is free from excessive fines, clay, and organic material, resulting in excellent compaction and drainage properties. This makes it ideal for use in road base construction, concrete mixes, asphalt production, and utility bedding. Contractors and DIYers alike benefit from its predictable performance, whether for large-scale infrastructure projects or residential landscaping. The main advantage of NYSDOT-approved sand is its compliance with regulatory requirements, ensuring durability and safety in finished projects.
