Masonry Sand

If you are searching for bulk Masonry Sand near me, and you are in Georgia, then you have found your source. Masonry Sand is one of our most popular sand products. Mason sand is defined by primarily its fine texture of grains that give it a softer feel. In contrast to River Sand and Construction Sand, it does not contain the larger grains of sand but concentrates more fine particles of sand. It is still a washed sand, meaning that the Masonry Sand is washed to remove the dust and clay particles that are undesirable for most applications. Masonry sand is also defined as a screened sand (no large grains of sand), silica sand (very durable), and a natural sand (not crushed or manufactured sand). The most popular use for Masonry Sand is for mortar mix for brick, block, and stone masonry. Mason Sand is often defined by color. Color is often misleading because we offer masonry sand in a variety of colors, but the most common preference is our white sand. Gradation is the key factor and a skilled mason can feel the difference when laying brick. ASTM C-144 is the most common specification for Masonry Sand. We have more than one Masonry Sand type so often we offer the most affordable and cost-effective Masonry Sand based on your location in Georgia. If your project requires ASTM C144 sand then we will certainly provide it as well though. We understand that a mason needs the right sand for mortar strength, sand to cement ratio, color matching, and cost.

However, other than masonry contractors, there are construction and landscaping projects, many homeowners and landscapers throughout Atlanta and North Georgia, that require a variety of uses for masonry sand.

We get asked all the time, “what kind of sand do I need for my pool?” We actually sell a type of sand that we call Pool Sand. Usually, the pool manufacturers for above ground pools of 15’, 18’, 20’, 22’, 24’ diameter suggest that you buy sand locally to place beneath your pool to level the ground and provide protection from any punctures. Our sand does both. It is fine enough to provide a smooth, firm surface, but does not contain any large pebbles or rock that would wear or puncture the pool liner. The typical pool requires 1-5 tons of sand which surprises some customers who need to buy sand. We can help you calculate how much sand you need for your pool. However, once the pool is taken down for the winter the sand should last and only have to be partially replenished the next year if any is lost. Keep in mind that buying sand in bulk is a much easier and cost-effective option for you pool than buying it in the bag from your local hardware store. Buying a ton of sand by the bag is difficult (or not possible) to transport in your car and you have to load and unload it multiple times. Our bulk delivery can often dump the sand in the area you want the pool, leaving you just having to spread it level which is manageable by hand.

The fine textured sand allows for the pavers to be placed on a level surface created with the sand upon the base and then the pavers slightly set into the sand to prevent movement. This type of sand is also ideal for filling in the gaps or joints between pavers or bricks along a path, walkway, or sidewalk. The sand is a great alternative to buying paver sand by the bag or polymeric sand for patios which add other chemicals, unlike our natural sand that does not contain any other additives.
