What is play sand used for?
Play sand is a fine, washed sand most often used to fill sandboxes and play areas. Its finer, cleaner texture makes it a friendlier choice than coarse construction sand for spaces where kids dig and play.
Play sand is our fine, washed sand — the friendly kind for sandboxes and backyard play areas. Its cleaner, finer texture makes it a nicer choice than coarse construction sand where kids dig, build, and play. Buying in bulk by the cubic yard means you can fill a sandbox or top up a play area without hauling home a mountain of bags.
For paver bedding, masonry, and construction work, the coarser builder's sand is the right pick — play sand is made for play. Tell us your sandbox dimensions and we'll help you order the right amount. Call to confirm current pricing and availability.
