Choose The Right Type Of Sand For Your Project

Many types of commercial projects require sand, but not all sand is the same. Read on to learn what kind of sand is right for your project. 

Some kinds of sand have very specific uses. For example, perk sand is used in wastewater treatment: drainfields, septic systems and sewer systems. Concrete sand is nearly always used for making concrete and hot mix asphalt. 

Mason sand is very fine and soft. This makes it a good choice for many recreational uses, such as playgrounds, sandboxes, horse shoe pits and equestrian arenas. 

White beach sand is beautiful but also practical. It is excellent for the floors of horse stalls because it is absorbent, does not retain odors and provides good traction for the animals. 

Silica sand is used when a pure, uniform product is required, for example in sandblasting or glass making. Silica sand is the choice for industrial concrete because of its strength. It also provides good drainage on golf courses.
