Overview

About this product

Concrete sand is a coarse, sharp sand washed free of clay and silt and graded for batching: the fine aggregate that fills the voids between stone and gives a mix its workability. Strength starts here, dirty or inconsistent sand is the fastest way to fail a cylinder test.

Ours comes from established sand resources with consistent fineness modulus load after load, suiting structural concrete, screeds and renders. Daily bulk volumes available, weighed and tracked like everything we move.

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.

Worked example
~8 t at 100mm

50 m² × 0.1 m deep = 5 m³ × ~1.5 t/m³

Good to know

Common questions

What makes a sand good for concrete?
Concrete needs a sharp, washed sand with controlled fines and a consistent grading, so the mix is strong, predictable and not weakened by silt or clay. That is what concrete sand is screened and washed for.
Why does it need to be washed?
Washing removes silt and clay fines that would otherwise weaken the concrete and throw out the water demand. Washed sand gives a consistent, reliable mix.
How is it delivered, and can I track it?
It is supplied loose by the tonne and delivered by tipper across Victoria, sized to your site access. Every load is GPS-tracked in NXT Control so you can see it from the yard to your gate.
