Grit Sand and Stone Mix – 900kg Bulk Bag

About this item:
Grit Sand and Stone Mix is a blended coarse aggregate intended for paving, landscaping and drainage work. Combining grit sand with small stone particles creates a more open, textured material than sand alone, helping it compact into a stable layer while allowing water to move through the finished groundwork. It is commonly used beneath flagstones, around garden features and in general outdoor areas where support and drainage are required.

This 900kg bulk bag provides a practical quantity for patios, paths and larger landscaping projects. The material should be spread evenly and compacted in layers over suitable prepared ground, with a recognised sub-base installed where the project requires greater load-bearing performance. It is not a calibrated all-in ballast and should not be used to make concrete or mortar unless suitability is specifically confirmed for the supplied batch. As a natural aggregate, colour, grading, moisture content and delivered volume may vary slightly.

Common Questions:
Q. Is Grit Sand and Stone Mix the same as all-in ballast?
A. No. Although both contain sand and stone, this product is intended primarily for paving, drainage and landscaping. It should not be treated as graded concrete ballast.

Q. Can it be used to make concrete or mortar?
A. No. This particular paving blend is not specified for concrete or mortar. Use a suitable concrete ballast or separately graded sand and aggregate where strength-controlled cement mixes are required.

Q. Can it be used beneath paving slabs?
A. Yes. It can be used for paving and flagstone bedding where the chosen installation method permits. It should be laid over a properly prepared sub-base rather than used as the only supporting layer on weak ground.

Q. How much area will a 900kg bulk bag cover?
A. Coverage varies with particle grading, moisture, compaction and laying depth. As a broad guide, one bag may cover approximately 9–11m² at 50mm deep, but allow additional material for settlement and uneven ground.

Q. Does the material need to be compacted?
A. Yes. Spread it in even layers and compact thoroughly using suitable equipment. Correct compaction reduces settlement and creates a firmer, more consistent base.
