Bedding Sand
Screeds flat, compacts true, the bed your pavers and pipes sit on for the next fifty years.
About this product
Bedding sand is a clean, screened coarse sand that screeds to a flat plane and compacts evenly, the layer that determines whether paving stays flat or grows lips and puddles. The same properties make it the standard bed and surround for stormwater and utility pipe where fine support is specified.
Available washed for the fussiest paving work, by the tonne or truck, alongside crusher dust where a binding bed is preferred.

How much do you need?
Sand is supplied by the tonne. As a guide it weighs around 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre, so multiply your area by the depth for the volume, then by the density. Tell us the job on the quote form and we will work out the tonnes and price the delivery.
