Sand (Fill)
Applications & Uses
Sand - Fill Grade
Fill sand is a versatile construction aggregate commonly used for leveling, backfilling, and general site preparation. Unlike specialty sands, fill sand is typically unwashed and may contain small particles of clay or silt, making it ideal for applications where compaction and stability are more important than drainage or appearance.
This material is valued for its ability to fill voids and create a stable base for foundations, slabs, and landscaping projects. Its composition allows for easy compaction, which helps prevent settling over time. Fill sand is widely used in both residential and commercial projects, including under concrete slabs, around utility lines, and for grading and landscaping. While it is not recommended for use in areas requiring high drainage or a smooth finish, fill sand is a cost-effective solution for bulk fill needs and general construction backfill.
