There are five basic kinds of commercial bulk sand.
Concrete SandIn Stock! |
Utility sand, coarse, not washed, commonly
used underneath paving stones and what Best Landscaping recommends. The
various grain size is what provides a stronger rigid base for paving stones
and compacts better than most sands. A fine or uniform sand would wash
away over time. Sold in Bulk |
Plaster Sandnot stocked |
A clean, coarse sand, primarily used by professionals
to make stucco. |
Masonary or White Sandnot stocked |
Clean, fine grained sand used to make mortar. Although
masonry sand is sometimes requested for use as a base under paving stones
Best Landscaping does not recommend it because we find it to be too fine,
therefore, too loose for this purpose. You'll want a more grainer sand
such as Concrete sand. |
Play SandIn Stock |
Commonly used for sandboxes and children's play areas.
Clean and washed. It's texture is uniform in grain size. While other sands
contain silica, Play Sand is silica-free making it safe for children.
Sold in Bulk |
Clay SandAvailable |
A very fine sand with large amounts of clay generally
used for fill. Not washed. Compacts well as it holds moisture. Sold in

Specialty Sand Polymeric SandIn Stock! |
Is a unique mixture of polymer binders and a calibrated
sand used between the cracks of paving stones to provide a harder bond
than sand alone. Benefits include the prevention of weeds, unwanted insects
(such as ants) and water errosion. Sold only in 22 KG bags. |
