Turnbull Washed Sharp Sand is a gritty general purpose sand when a tougher mortar mix is needed for building or landscaping projects. It is coarser than building sand giving concrete more strength, making it perfect for laying patio slabs. It also makes an ideal sand screed bed for paving and bedding in driveway block paving.

As sharp sand drains freely, it is ideal for use in gardens and landscaping. Its larger grain size and low overall clay content allow for better drainage in your garden. Our Washed Sharp Sand Bulk Bag keeps clean and tidy until you need it. Just barrow up in smaller quantities as you require.

Washed Sharp Sand is sourced locally and is made with naturally occurring materials, the colour and texture of the material may vary. Bulk bags are delivered free of charge to your curbside.
