Coarse Sand is used as a screeding layer in driveway and traditional patio installations. The purpose of this layer is to act as a cushion between the paving stones and the limestone base for the final compaction. We always recommend a 1 1/2" layer of screeding sand on top of your 3/4" down limestone base when performing a driveway or traditional patio installation.

Looking for finishing sand? We always recommend polymeric sand to finish any patio job, long lasting and very effective!
