Choosing 1/4 x 10 sand for a project signifies a need for a small, granular material that offers a balance between stability and workability, though with more angularity than sand. This finely crushed rock, ranging from approximately 1/4 inch down to the size of coarse sand (passing through a #10 sieve), provides better interlock than sand due to its angular fragments, making it suitable for applications where some structural stability is required in a small aggregate. It can be used for pathways, or as a leveling course under pavers where a slightly more robust base than sand is desired. The controlled size gradation allows for good compaction and a relatively smooth surface compared to larger crushed rock, making it a versatile option for projects demanding a finer, yet structurally sound, granular material.
Great for:
- Paver Leveling Beds
- Pathways and Walkways
- Finer Base Layers
- Drainage Layers
- Infill Between Larger Stones
