What is Sharp Sand? 

Sharp sand, also known as concreting sand, grit sand, or coarse sand, is made from ground quartz rocks. It has a coarse, granular texture that is excellent for drainage and provides a high level of strength and stability.

Features and Benefits of Sharp Sand:

  • Coarse Texture: Sharp sand has a high proportion of larger particles (0-4mm) and a gritty texture.

  • Free Draining: Low content of silt and clay makes it a free-draining material.

  • Versatile Use: Ideal for laying paving and patio slabs, planting when mixed with peat and compost, grass top dressing, and breaking up clay soil.

  • Eco-Friendly: Sourced sustainably wherever possible.

Applications of Sharp Sand: Sharp sand is a versatile material used in various landscaping and construction projects, including:

  • Laying Paving and Patio Slabs: Provides a stable base for paving and patios.

  • Planting: Mix with peat and compost for planting.

  • Grass Top Dressing: Use as a budget-friendly top dressing for lawns.
