Coarse white sand is a type of sand with larger granules than typical fine sand, resulting in better drainage and workability. It is characterised by its coarse texture and bright white colour and is a common material used in construction and landscaping projects.

Coarse sand is used for multiple purposes, including:

• Mixing with cement and aggregates to create concrete
• Providing a stable base for pavers, bricks, and tiles
• Improving drainage in gardens and lawns
• Creating sandboxes and play areas for children
• Enhancing the visual appeal of landscaping projects

Builders sand, also known as sharp sand, is similar to coarse sand in terms of its larger granules and improved drainage properties. However, the primary difference lies in their colours and intended applications. Builders sand is typically yellow or reddish and is commonly used as concrete sand for mortar mixing, plastering, masonry, and bricklaying, while coarse sand, is preferred for applications that require more stability and drainage.
