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 in construction and landscaping due to its strength, stability, and excellent drainage properties.

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.
