Landscaping and Paver Bedding with Washed Sand
5mm washed sand is commonly used as a bedding material for paving stones, patios and walkways. Its workable texture makes it suitable for spreading and leveling during landscape installation.
For paving projects, prepare and compact the appropriate aggregate base before placing the bedding sand. Spread and screed the sand to the depth required by the paver manufacturer's installation instructions.
Washed sand can also be used for suitable landscaping, filling and finishing projects. If your project requires a specific masonry, concrete or drainage aggregate specification, confirm that this product meets those requirements before ordering.
