Applications & Uses
Sand with Stone Attribute
Sand with a stone attribute is a versatile construction material that blends the fine texture of sand with the structural qualities of stone particles. This combination is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone, resulting in a granular mix that offers both stability and workability.
The presence of stone within the sand enhances its load-bearing capacity and drainage properties, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Common uses include bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. In commercial settings, it is often used in concrete mixes and as a leveling material for road construction. The stone content improves compaction and reduces the risk of shifting, though it may be less suitable for projects requiring a perfectly smooth finish. Overall, sand with stone attribute is valued for its strength, drainage, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects.
