Sand (Class 2)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a Class 2 size range is a versatile construction aggregate commonly used in both residential and commercial projects. Class 2 sand typically refers to a medium-coarse gradation, offering a balance between fine and coarse particles. This gradation is often produced by screening and washing natural sand deposits to achieve consistent sizing and cleanliness.
The Class 2 size range is ideal for applications where stability and drainage are important. It compacts well, making it suitable for use as a base material under pavers, concrete slabs, and roadways. Its particle size also allows for effective drainage, which is beneficial in landscaping, backfilling, and utility trench bedding. While it may not provide the ultra-smooth finish of finer sands, its stability and drainage properties make it a reliable choice for foundational work and general construction needs.
