Sand & Aggregate

Sand, gravel and aggregates in 1 tonne (1,000kg) bulk bags, delivered across Ireland from our yard in Rathcoole, Co. Dublin. Whether you need building sand for blocklaying, paving sand for bedding patio slabs, or hardcore for a solid sub-base, every bag is available for delivery or collection.

Which sand do I need?

  • Building sand (builders sand) - sharp sand for brick and block mortar and general building work.
  • Paving sand - sand mixed with small grit for bedding paving slabs on patios and driveways, giving a firmer, stronger base.
  • Granite sand and sandstone sand - washed, light cream sands for plastering, dry dashing and blinding under decorative chippings.

Gravel, grit and hardcore

Hardcore provides the compacted foundation under patios, paths and driveways. Gravel is used when installing concrete fencing posts and for drainage, and 5mm grit is mainly used for mixing concrete. For finishing, our decorative chippings - Pink Quartz, Wicklow Granite and Suir Gold Flint - cover roughly 12-15m² per tonne depending on depth.
