Concrete Sand
No strong civil structure can become a reality without using concrete. A key ingredient in the manufacturing of batching concrete is sand. Using concrete sand in concrete batching results in lower costs while retaining the same compressive strength provided by a high cement mixture. It is also used as a landscape base for setting patio stones, pavers, and bricks. Concrete sand packs together well and doesn’t wash out as easily as finer sands. It is coarse washed and screened sand.
