What is Medium Sand?

Medium sand is a type of sand with grain sizes that are medium-sized — not too fine and not too coarse. It’s commonly used in construction and landscaping because of its good texture and drainage properties.

Grain Size

• Grain diameter typically ranges from 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm.

• Bigger than fine sand but smaller than coarse sand.

Common Uses

• Concrete making – as part of the sand mix for good strength and workability.

• Plastering – smooth surface finish on walls.

• Mortar – for bricklaying and blockwork.

• Landscaping – base layer under pavers or for leveling.

• Filling – in trenches or gaps.
