The compacting fill sand, packs hard around tanks, trenches and structures where rock can’t go.
Packing sand carries enough fines to compact into a firm, dense mass, unlike free-draining washed sands, it locks up when moistened and rolled. That makes it the right call for tank and pool surrounds, trench backfill against flexible structures, and filling under slabs in tight access.
It protects what it surrounds: no sharp aggregate against tank walls, no voids under structures. By the truckload wherever the job is.

Every load GPS-tracked from the yard to your gate, with the tonnes on the docket.
Sand is supplied by the tonne. As a guide it weighs around 1.6 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.
50 m² × 0.2 m deep = 10 m³ × ~1.6 t/m³
Tell us the volume, the site and the program. Every load is tracked live through NXT Control, from yard to your gate.
