Coarse Sand from Creech’s Lawn & Landscape is a high-quality, multi-purpose sand with medium to large granular particles. The uniform tan-brown coloration offers a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with various landscape designs. This sand maintains its structure even under heavy use, making it perfect for both residential and commercial applications.
Our Coarse Sand is carefully screened to ensure consistent particle size distribution, providing superior drainage capabilities while maintaining excellent compaction properties. Each granule has been washed to minimize fine dust and debris, delivering a clean product ready for immediate use in your landscaping projects.

Coverage and Installation
Coarse Sand typically covers approximately 80-100 square feet per ton at a 2-inch depth. For optimal results, install at a minimum depth of 1-2 inches for drainage applications and 4-6 inches for structural base applications. Compact in 2-3 inch layers when using as a base material to ensure proper density and stability.
When using as a drainage medium, ensure proper slope grading (minimum 1% grade) to facilitate water flow. For paver installations, a 1-inch layer of Coarse Sand provides an ideal setting bed after the base aggregate has been properly compacted.
