We buy sands Australia for different purposes, for cleaning, fixing, and what have you. Yet, sands are most commonly used in landscaping. And to give you a clear view of the ways in which landscaping sands can be used, refer to this list.

Fills for pavers

To prevent breaking and shifting of pavers and to make a paver walkway more stable, special paver sand is used to fill in spaces, providing a levelling beneath pavers.

Concrete

Due to its coarseness, sand is used in formulating different types of concrete. In turn, this concrete is used to make walkways, steps, outdoor seating benches, garden edging, and many more. It can also be poured into assembled tile template to create a tough walkway like it was made with individual pavers.

Play sand

If you have plans of incorporating a play area for children into your landscaping, make use of play sand, as it’s perfect for under play equipment and play boxes. Since the sand is medium coarse, your landscape will still look tidy.

Also, play sand can be used as a reliable playing surface for outdoor sports. It can be easily patted and laid down into a smooth surface and then have it edged with small pavers or wood.

Zen garden

A tradition borrowed from Japan, Zen gardens are rock gardens that feature a space filled with gravel and sand showcasing larger rocks with unique shapes. It is said that the gravel and sand represent the sea while the larger rocks represent the natural earth. Distinguished by lack of living plants, create movements in the sand and gravel to better resemble the moving waters of the sea to keep the Zen garden lively.

The mentioned above are just some of the many popular uses of sand. And if you are planning to buy sands Australia, now you know how to make use of the leftovers.
