Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely crushed rock and mineral particles. As a result of this the composition and colour is determined by the local rock source and ground conditions. We source our products from different quarries throughout Yorkshire and can therefore deliver a broad range suitable for a number of functions. These include paving or block laying, bedding cables or pipes, adding strength to mortar, sub soils and specialist surfaces.
Our high quality washed Silica Sand is processed and created to a consistency of 0/2mm grading to ensure meeting the standards of both horse equestrian arenas and sports based applications. Each batch of this silica based arena sand, ensures a reliable particle size and compaction characteristics to offer a wide range of installations due to it's drainage capabilities and ability to craft stable surfaces.
Our building sand or often referred as river sand is a fine 0/2mm soft sand used for block or brick laying and general mortar applications. Due to its consistency it delivers a smooth and workable texture, which when combined with cement it creates high-quality mortar with strong bonding properties. We source our builders sand from three regional deposits, providing us with red, yellow, and mission grey sand. Once dried the mixture will set as a plain grey colour, regardless of the original colour.
Our Eco Sand is a sustainable fine aggregate made from crushed, washed recycled glass, with a consistent 0/5mm grading. Manufactured from post-consumer waste collected through local authority recycling programmes, it offers a reliable, environmentally conscious alternative to quarried sand. Its uniformity, clean finish, and consistent grain structure make it suitable for a wide range of non-structural construction and landscaping applications.
Our Fill sand, also known as cable sand, is a manufactured fine aggregate with a consistency of 0/6mm grading, making it ideal for use as a non-structural backfill material across a range of groundworks and civil engineering applications. Due to its compacting nature and consistency it is ideal for the use beneath pipework, ducting, concrete slabs, paving, and flagging. Fill sand is frequently chosen for utility trench reinstatement and void filling where a stable and compactable layer is required.
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.
Fine Limestone. Produced from crushed stone sourced from Limestone quarries. The grain size is 0/4mm.
Recycled, washed Grit or Sharp Sand is produced from crushed, inert, recycled construction materials. It can be used under flags and paving on top of a good compact sub base. It has good water drainage properties as a result of its coarse grading. The grain size is 0/4mm.
