Different tasks call for different materials. When it comes to bulk sand there are different types to consider. There are gritty sands, silty sands, and a mix of both. It is important to use the right sand for the job. Below I have high-def pictures of our sands and explain their individual uses.
Our Concrete-Sand is a fine, coarse, sand. This sand is used in many masonry applications. It is also the sand we use for mixing sand-salt.
Uses
- Cement Mixing
- Under pavers/bluestone
- Â Mixing with topsoil or compost to aid with drainage
- Beach remediation
Our Mason-sand is silty, with some grit. This sand is used in much of the same ways as our concrete sand.
Uses
- Playground sand, or sand boxes. This sand is soft and rock free, making it safe for children.
- Under pavers/bluestone
- Cement mixing
- Mixing with topsoil or compost to aid with drainage
Pool-sand is pretty self explanatory. This is the sand you need if you are going to be constructing an above ground pool. Pool-sand is very silty, and is sometimes referred to as “dead-sand.” Pool-sand is free of all rocks, making a safe bottom for your delicate liner.
Uses
- Beneath pool/pond liners
