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
