Paver Bedding Sand Bag

Description

Paver Bedding Sand

Create a smooth, stable foundation for your paving project with Paver Bedding Sand, a coarse, washed sand specifically designed for laying pavers, bricks and slabs.

This material provides a level, compactable layer between your base (such as road base) and the pavers, allowing for easy installation while ensuring long-term stability and performance.

With its consistent particle size and excellent drainage properties, Paver Bedding Sand helps achieve a professional, even finish across both residential and commercial paving projects.

Key Features & Benefits

Creates a level laying surface — Allows pavers to be accurately positioned and adjusted during installation.

Excellent compaction — Coarse particles compact to form a stable, supportive bedding layer.

Prevents movement and settling — Helps keep pavers securely in place over time.

Good drainage properties — Allows water to pass through, reducing pooling and long-term issues.

Clean, washed sand — Free from excessive clay and impurities for consistent performance.

What It’s Used For

Paver Installation — Essential layer for paths, patios, driveways and courtyards.

Under Slabs — Provides a smooth, level base before pouring concrete.

Brick & Stone Bedding — Suitable for laying bricks, blocks and stepping stones.

Around Pipes & Services — Can be used as a cushioning layer for underground installations.

Why It Performs Well

Paver Bedding Sand is designed with uniform, coarse particles, allowing it to:

• Create a flat, even surface for paving
• Distribute weight evenly across the base
• Allow minor adjustments during installation
• Improve drainage beneath the surface

This ensures a stable, long-lasting paving system when used correctly.

Important Product Characteristics

Coarse, washed sand — Designed for bedding and levelling, not mortar or rendering.

Not a structural base — Must be used over a compacted road base for strength.

Not jointing sand — A separate gap/jointing sand is required between pavers.

Natural variation — Colour and texture may vary between batches.

Installation Tips

• Install over a compacted road base for best results
• Apply at a depth of 20–50mm
• Screed to achieve a smooth, level surface before laying pavers
• Do not over-compact before laying — allow pavers to bed in naturally
