Why Sand Is Important
Sand creates a smooth, compactable surface that supports structures and surfaces while allowing for proper water movement. When used correctly, sand improves stability and reduces shifting, settling, and uneven wear over time.
In the Pacific Northwest, sand is often combined with other materials to support drainage systems and construction projects exposed to frequent moisture.
