Pipe Bedding Sand is a washed material produced from our Two Oaks Quarry. It is a fine grade sand making it perfect for backfill, a free-flowing sand that surrounds the pipes and cables effortlessly, making installation easier and stone/aggregate free.
The sand dissipates heat rapidly – keeping underground pipes cool. The sand retains a consistent grading – no movement once compacted.
It can also be used as a fill sand for many projects, often used as a base for concrete and to fill around septic tanks.
It is also an option for landscaping projects which involve creating pools or waterfalls.
