Arena Sand Description
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.
One of the key characteristics of arena sand is its sub-angular grain shape, enabling the right balance between give and firmness to offer a supportive but cushioned layer underfoot. An essential characteristic for performance and safety when used in across sports pitches and horse riding arenas.
Unlike sands with high clay content, this product contains minimal fines, which helps to reduce compaction over time and significantly minimises dust in dry conditions.
As in all uses of arena sand, high drainage and avoidance of surface pooling are essential to prevent water logging, ensuring surfaces remain usable in wet weather while maintaining it’s consistency, stability, and grip underfoot.

Fill Sand
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.

Building Sand
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.
