Sand

Even if you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely encountered sand before. Sand is a naturally occurring mixture of fine rock material and mineral particles. Its composition differs depending on the source of the sand, but most forms are useful for roads, aggregate concrete manufacturing, and sanitation. C&E offers a range of sand products, including but not limited to plaster sand and Albuquerque sand. If you’re interested in hearing more about our sand products, please contact us for specific fine aggregate specifications.

Sand and gravel can also be used to create roofing shingles, for landscaping and xeriscaping, water filtration, for driveways or parking lots, and, to help with traction on the road during an icy winter.
