Sharp Sand – For Concrete Mixes, Paving, and Soil Drainage

Sharp sand, also known as concreting sand or grit sand, is a coarse sand with larger, angular grains. It’s widely used on construction and landscaping projects.

Common uses for sharp sand include:

• Concrete and mortar – Ideal for creating a stronger bond in blockwork and paving.

• Screeds – Used for screeding to apply a level surface over a concrete subfloor.

• Paving – Perfect as a base layer for driveways, patios, and paving slabs.

• Soil improvement – Mixing sharp sand into garden beds helps improve drainage and reduces the risk of waterlogging, especially in clay heavy soils.

Our sharp sand is available in:

• 25kg plastic bags – Ideal for smaller jobs or easy handling, also these bags are available for delivery via the pallet network to most postal areas in the UK.

• 850kg bulk bags – Great for larger building or landscaping projects and it is more cost effective to have the sharp sand in larger bags, however the bags require crane offload therefore delivery is only available to selected post codes that can be seen on our delivery information page, or you can check once you have added the item to your basket.
