Screened, Coarse Blue Sand

Screened, coarse blue sand is a high-quality construction aggregate known for its distinctive color and robust particle size. Produced by screening natural sand deposits, this material is carefully processed to remove fine particles, resulting in a coarse texture that enhances stability and drainage. The unique blue hue adds a decorative touch, making it suitable for both functional and aesthetic applications.

The coarse, screened nature of this sand ensures excellent drainage and reduced compaction, making it ideal for use in bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. Its texture also makes it a popular choice for mixing with concrete or mortar where improved strength and reduced shrinkage are desired. While the coarse particles provide superior drainage, they may not be suitable for applications requiring a smooth finish, such as plastering or fine masonry work. The blue color offers an attractive option for landscaping projects, playgrounds, or decorative pathways.
