Sand (#30 To #8)
Applications & Uses
Sand in #30 to #8 Size Range
Sand graded in the #30 to #8 size range is a versatile construction aggregate composed of fine to medium particles. This gradation means the sand particles are larger than typical play sand but smaller than coarse construction sand, offering a balanced texture that is neither too fine nor too gritty. The material is typically sourced from natural deposits and processed through screening to achieve the specified size range.
The #30 to #8 size range is ideal for applications where moderate compaction and drainage are required. It is commonly used as a bedding layer for pavers, in concrete mixes for improved workability, and as a leveling base for patios and walkways. The particle size helps reduce dust while still allowing for good drainage, making it suitable for both residential landscaping and commercial construction projects. This sand is easy to spread and compact, though it may not provide the ultra-smooth finish of finer sands or the rapid drainage of coarser aggregates.
