A white sand used as a base layer for dry dashing. This will have a pure white colour when dry.
White Limestone Sand is a finely crushed limestone product with a pale or white color, typically supplied in a jumbo (bulk) bag. It has a fine, powdery to gritty texture and is widely used in construction, paving, and decorative landscaping projects due to its clean appearance and compacting qualities.
Best Uses:
1. Paving Base or Jointing
Ideal as a bedding layer for paving slabs or block paving.
Can also be brushed into joints between pavers for a crisp, clean finish.
2. Decorative Landscaping
Its light color makes it a popular choice for modern garden designs, giving a bright, fresh look.
Suitable as a top dressing or for use in minimalist or Mediterranean-style landscapes.
3. Mortar & Render Mixes
Can be used in mortar or concrete where a lighter finish is desired.
Common in projects needing light-colored cementitious products.
4. Artificial Grass Base
Works as a smooth, level base layer under artificial turf.
Offers good drainage while supporting the surface structure.
5. Compactable Sub-Base
Though finer than hardcore, it can be compacted to form a firm base for light-use paths or patios.
Things to Consider:
- Colour: It’s very light, so it can highlight dirt or staining if not maintained.
- Not suitable for heavy drainage: Unlike grit or gravel, it compacts tightly, which can reduce permeability.
