What is concrete sand?
Concrete sand is the coarse, washed sand (fine aggregate) used in concrete. It's also called coarse sand, washed concrete sand or C33 sand. Its coarse, angular grains lock together, which is why it's also the standard bedding sand under pavers.
What kind of sand goes under pavers?
Concrete sand. Pavers go on a compacted base (road base or crushed concrete), then a 1 in layer of coarse concrete sand screeded flat, then the pavers. Fine sands like play or mason sand shift and hold water, so they don't belong in the bedding layer.
Does paver sand harden?
Bedding sand doesn't harden; it stays loose so pavers can be tapped level. The sand that hardens is polymeric joint sand, swept between pavers at the end. We don't sell polymeric sand.
Concrete sand for mixing concrete
For a small pour, a common mix is 1 part cement, 2 parts concrete sand and 3 parts gravel. For structural work, follow the mix design on your plans.
What concrete sand is used for
- Sandboxes (too coarse; use Play Sand)
- Fine mortar and stucco finishes (use Mason Sand)
- Paver joints (use polymeric joint sand)
- Bulk fill of low spots (use Fill Sand)

What to expect when your concrete sand is delivered
Where will the truck dump it?
Dumped from the street or driveway.
Do I need to be home?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.
Will it be spread?
No. Concrete Sand arrives in one pile and isn't spread on site, so plan wheelbarrows and a rake, or a crew, to move it into place. Sand is heavy: a wheelbarrow holds only a few hundred pounds.
Can the truck reach my backyard?
A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.
How much fits on one truck?
About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads.
