Quikrete Companies 1152-53 All Purpose Sand 50 Lb

Product Description

The QUIKRETE COMPANIES 1152-53 is a 50-pound bag of all-purpose sand suited for a wide range of construction and landscaping tasks. This natural sand is screened and graded for consistent particle size, making it easy to work with whether it is being spread, layered, or blended into a mix. It serves as a stable base material, a traction aid, and a raw ingredient for site-mixed concrete. Contractors, landscapers, and masonry professionals reach for this product when they need a reliable, general-use sand without specialized additives.

This all-purpose sand is commonly used as an underlayment beneath pavers, brick, and stepping stones to create a level, compactable base. It also provides traction on slick surfaces and is suitable for garden and landscaping applications. When combined with Portland cement and coarse aggregate, it functions as the fine-aggregate component in a job-mixed concrete or mortar batch. It is well suited for residential and light commercial flatwork, hardscape installations, and general site prep.

Installation Notes

Masonry contractors, hardscape installers, and general laborers typically place this product. When using as a paver base or underlayment, ensure the sub-base is graded and compacted before spreading sand to the required depth. Follow applicable building codes and project specifications for base thickness and compaction requirements. When batch-mixing concrete, observe proper water-to-cement ratios and wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection when handling cement products.
