Gritsand
Our gritsand, also known as sharp sand, is a coarse 0/4mm aggregate produced from washed, crushed gritstone. It’s commonly used as a laying course for flagstones, block paving, and patio installations. When placed over a well-compacted sub-base, it provides a stable, free-draining bed that supports long-term surface performance and load distribution.

Gritsand Details and Specifications
Gritsand Description
Gritsand is a sharp, angular sand produced by washing and crushing natural gritstone. With a 0/4mm grading, it contains a mix of coarse particles that create interlocking strength when compacted, making it a go-to material for use beneath paving and flagging. This structure also promotes effective drainage, reducing the risk of standing water beneath exterior surfaces.
