Structural Sands
We carry a full range of bagged aggregates and sands. It can get very confusing as to what sand would be best for your application, especially when there 30-40 different names for only 5 different types of sand that are sold on the market. We sell 5 different grades that make up 95% of the sand sold in New Zealand and we try and demystify which sand is best for your application. See below for the 5 different grades we sell and further down the page for the different aggregates and decorative stones we sell.
