Questions
Sharp sand is a coarse-grained sand widely used in screeds, concrete mixes, block paving, slab laying and artificial grass installation.
Each sand bag contains approximately 765 litres (0.75m³) of sand, with a weight of around 800kg.
Yes, sand is suitable for concrete mixing. Sharp sand is commonly mixed with cement & aggregates to create concrete for paths, foundations and general construction work.
Absolutely. Sharp sand provides a stable, compactable base that prevents subsidence and movement under slabs or paving blocks.
Yes, sharp sand is suitable for artificial grass as it creates a firm and even foundation layer underneath it, helping to stabilise & protect the grass surface.
When mixed into peat or compost, sharp sand improves drainage, prevents waterlogging, and promotes healthier root development in plants.
Gardeners often use sharp sand for root cuttings and propagation because its coarse texture encourages strong root growth.
As the sand is locally sourced, its colour, size and texture may vary naturally. This variation adds character to landscaping projects while remaining functionally reliable.
Yes, sharp sand is a key component in screed mixes, ensuring a strong & even base for flooring installations.
As a rough guide, one 0.75m³ bag will cover approximately 10–12m² at a depth of 50mm, depending on compaction and application.
Sharp sand has larger, angular grains, giving it strength and better drainage properties, whereas building sand is finer and softer, making it better for bricklaying mortar.
Unfortunately not. Sharp sand has coarse, angular grains, making it unsuitable for play pits. It is intended for construction, landscaping, and gardening purposes.
Sharp sand is not ideal to be used on its own for bricklaying mortar. A softer building sand is usually preferred for that application, though sharp sand may sometimes be blended for added strength.
The sand is supplied in a jumbo bulk bag, which requires a lorry with crane offload or forklift access for delivery or collection.
Locally sourced sand ensures compatibility with regional building practices and reduces the environmental impact of long-distance transport.
