The weight of sand per m3 varies depending on the product due to differences in density and other factors. The best way to get an accurate weight for a specific type of sand is to contact us directly. Please give us a call via the Contact Us page for precise information. 

What sand to use under pavers? 

For laying pavers, we recommend using white washed sand, also known as sandpit sand. This sand is ideal for use under paving and is excellent for sweeping into the joints. Another suitable option is washed concrete sand. Both these sands ensure a stable and durable base for your paving 

What is concrete mix? 

Our concrete mix is a convenient, ready-to-use premixed blend of 14mm screenings and washed concrete sand. Simply add cement and water to produce concrete. It's designed for general concreting purposes, providing both consistency and quality for your projects. 

What sand to use on turf? 

For turf applications, especially on high-performance areas like golf greens and sports ovals, we recommend using turf sand. This fine graded sand is specifically designed to resist compaction, ensuring optimal drainage and structural integrity even under extensive activity. Turf sand provides a smooth and durable surface, making it the ideal choice for areas that experience frequent use. 

Coarse sand meaning? 

Coarse washed sand, the coarsest variety we offer at Daisy’s, has similar properties to with kerb or propagating sand. Characterised by its larger particles and the presence of small stones, this sand type is renowned for its excellent drainage properties. Often incorporated into heavy soils, it enhances both structure and drainage. Beyond these applications, it's frequently utilised as a staple in propagating and potting mixes. Moreover, Coarse Washed Sand, with its inherent minerals from the riverbed, is also beneficial when mixed through garden beds, improving drainage and enriching the soil.
