Delivery charges listed on our website apply to mainland UK, excluding the following postcode areas: AB, CF, DD, DG, FK, KW, IV, LA, LD, LL, NP, PA, PH, SA, SY
If your delivery address falls within one of these postcode areas, we’ll be in touch before processing your order to confirm any additional delivery costs.

Product Overview
Sharp sand supplied in an 800kg bulk bag, consisting of coarse, angular-grained natural aggregate with minimal fines or clay.
Its gritty texture compacts well while remaining free-draining, making it suitable for concrete, screeds, bedding paving, drainage, and turf preparation.
Often used in both structural and landscaping applications, it combines stability with permeability, ensuring strength under load while preventing water build-up.
Features & Benefits
- Coarse angular grains: Interlock tightly when compacted, creating a stable and durable surface.
- Free-draining structure: Allows water to pass through quickly, reducing pooling and waterlogging.
- Grey-brown natural colour: Neutral aggregate appearance, blending into cement and soil mixes.
- Naturally sourced (often seabeds): Quality-controlled but may vary slightly in moisture and shade.
- Versatile construction and landscaping use: Suitable for paving, screeding, concrete, drainage, and turfing.
- Strength and crack resistance: Reduces the risk of cracking in screeds, mortars, and sub-base layers.
- Long shelf life: Dry, inert material that can be stored for extended periods without degradation.
- 800kg bulk bag supply: Reduces downtime and reordering, keeping larger projects on schedule.
Please Note: Bulk bag weight may differ by ±5% due to moisture content. Colour and shade vary naturally. This is a construction-grade material, not decorative sand.
Applications
- Paving and patio bedding: Creates a stable, free-draining laying course beneath blocks, slabs, and flags.
- Concrete and screeds: Mixes with cement and coarse aggregates for strong concrete and levelling screeds.
- Render scratch coats: Provides good key in traditional sand-and-cement base coats before top coat application.
- Drainage, lawns, and turf works: Used for soakaways, pipe bedding, soil aeration, top dressing lawns, and levelling ground for turf or artificial grass.
Installation Guidance
- Compact thoroughly: Ensures angular grains lock together, providing a stable foundation.
- Mix accurately with cement: Follow correct ratios for screeds, mortars, or concretes depending on use.
- Handle bulk safely: Use mechanical lifting equipment for 800kg bags to prevent manual handling risks.
Compliance & Performance
- Aggregate grading: Coarse, angular particles screened for consistent sharp sand performance.
- Service class: Suitable for external groundwork, sub-bases, cementitious mixes, and landscaping applications.
