This natural sand aggregate comes in three grades: Concrete, Yellow Bar, and White Bar. It is used for paver bedding, concrete mixes, masonry work, and general leveling. It is sold in bulk by the ton or in 50 lb bags.
Concrete Sand is washed, coarse sand that meets ASTM C-33 specs. It is used for general concrete work and as a paver bedding layer. Yellow Bar Sand is a fine, natural masonry sand for mortar mixes, block work, and brick laying. White Bar Sand is a clean, light-colored fine sand for masonry, lighter mortar joints, and visible decorative work.
The granular texture suits screeding, compaction, and mixing. For concrete, blend Concrete Sand with cement and aggregate per project specifications. Use Yellow Bar or White Bar for mortar, block work, and tuck-pointing. The bag size also suits paver joint top-ups, sandbox fills, small concrete repairs, and winter ice traction. Follow local codes and manufacturer instructions for base prep, bedding thickness, and mortar ratios.
