Torpedo Sand
Torpedo Sand
Torpedo sand is a coarse-grained sand and gravel mix. This product is made from crushing and screening the sand and aggregate then washing it clean. Typically it will contain gravels not larger than around 3/8″.
- Use to set pavers, flagstone, or other stepping stones
- Used in onsite concrete but not mortar mixes.
- Works great for septic leach areas for pipe bedding and as an amendment for hard pack clay soils to break up the clay and allow more porosity and drainage
Our Torpedo sand is a natural sand most commonly used for asphalt and concrete, but it can also be used for multiple landscaping applications too. Since it’s simple and coarse, and since it can drain well, it is a great product for backfill and subbase. JKS Ventures mason sand is clean washed and free of any debris or contaminants.
