Screened Fill Sand
$52.00
GST not included.
Filling Sand is a versatile construction and landscaping material ideal for backfilling trenches, service excavations and soil voids, particularly after plumbing, electrical and drainage works. It compacts down solidly to provide a stable base and is suitable as a base layer for concrete, paving, paths and finished surface works due to its consistent particle size and compaction behaviour.
This material also has wider applications for training surfaces such as golf course visual features and equestrian arena footing, where a firm yet workable surface is desirable.
Best Uses
• Backfilling trenches and excavation voids
• Compacted base for paving, concrete and paths
• Preparation layer for structural landscaping works
• Stable support before slab or surface installation
• Leveling and raising ground levels
• Equestrian and golf course surface base
Product Characteristics
• Texture: Washed sand with consistent, free-draining particle profile
• Compaction: Excellent — compacts down solidly under load
• Suitability: Engineered for construction and paving base layers
• Drainage: Allows moisture to pass while maintaining structural fill performance
• Purity: Low organic content for reliable behaviour in structural applications
Benefits
• Provides a firm and stable base for building and landscaping projects
