Concrete screening sand is a fine, clean, and compactable material commonly used in a variety of construction and landscaping projects. It serves as an ideal base for laying pavers, bricks, or stone in patios and walkways due to its excellent leveling properties. It is also used in concrete mixes to improve texture and workability or as a bedding layer for pipe installations and trench work. With its fine grain size and consistent composition, screening sand ensures stability, drainage, and a smooth finish for many foundational applications.

Please Note: Screening sand is a bedding material that should be used in combination with Recycled Concrete or Road Base. These materials provide a solid foundation, helping to prevent pavers from shifting or moving over time.
