SAND/SOIL
Mason sand, also known as masonry sand or mortar sand, is a fine-textured sand that is often used in construction and masonry applications. It is specifically chosen for its properties that make it suitable for mixing with cement and lime to create mortar for bricklaying, stonework, and other masonry projects.
Concrete sand, also known as sharp sand or coarse sand, is a type of sand with specific characteristics that make it suitable for use in concrete mixes. It is often used as one of the main components in the production of concrete, providing strength and durability to the finished product.
Manufactured sand, often abbreviated as M-sand, is a type of artificial or engineered sand produced by crushing rocks and stones to create sand-sized particles. It is an alternative to natural sand, which is typically mined from riverbeds and beaches. The production of manufactured sand involves controlled crushing of rocks, usually granite or basalt, to meet specific size and quality requirements.
Topsoil refers to the uppermost layer of soil on the Earth's surface, typically the top 2 to 8 inches (5 to 20 centimeters) deep. It is a crucial component of the soil profile and plays a significant role in supporting plant life. Topsoil is often rich in organic matter, minerals, and nutrients, making it fertile and conducive to plant growth. Topsoil is unrefined and may contain clumps, rocks and other items found on the surface from which is what extracted.
Pulverized topsoil, also known as screened or pulverized soil, is a type of soil that has undergone a processing method to break it down into smaller, finer particles. This process involves screening and grinding the topsoil to achieve a more consistent and uniform texture. The resulting material is often free of large clumps, rocks, and debris, making it easier to work with in landscaping, gardening, and construction projects.
Fill dirt, also known simply as "fill," is a type of soil material used to raise the elevation of a surface or fill in depressions and holes in the ground. Unlike topsoil, fill dirt is typically devoid of organic matter, and its composition may vary. It is often composed of a mixture of sand, clay, gravel, and rocks. The primary purpose of fill dirt is to provide structural support and stability, making it suitable for various construction and landscaping applications.
