This Suburban Build Sharp Sand is a type of sand with larger, angular grains compared to soft building or plastering sand. The grains are typically coarse, gritty, and less uniform in texture. Because of its sharp edges, it doesn't compact as smoothly as fine sand, but this makes it particularly valuable in construction where strength and drainage are important.

It's coarse particles allow water to pass through easily, preventing waterlogging in paving and gardening applications

When mixed with cement, sharp sand produces a strong and durable concrete or mortar suitable for building foundations, screeds, and renders

Commonly used under block paving and slabs, sharp sand provides a firm and stable base that resists shifting

In mortar and screed, sharp sand reduces shrinkage, helping to prevent cracking over time

In gardening, mixing sharp sand with clay soil improves aeration, drainage, and root penetration
