Our Torpedo Sand is a natural coarse sand that is approximately 1/4 inch in size, making it slightly smaller than our 3/8″ Pea Gravel but larger than our fine sand options. Because of its coarse texture and drainage properties, it is one of the most versatile products we carry.
Torpedo sand works best for:
Base layer under pavers and flagstone
Playground base and safety surfacing
Walkways and pathway base preparation
Base layer under artificial turf installations
Backfill and aggregate applications
Drainage applications where a coarser sand is needed
Because torpedo sand compacts well while still allowing water to drain through, it is a popular choice for contractors and DIY landscapers alike. Additionally, its natural composition makes it a reliable, consistent product for projects that require a stable base.
Sold by the ton. One cubic yard is approximately 1.25 tons, though this may vary by product and application. Not sure how much you need? Call us at 509-235-4511 and we will help you figure it out. Available for pickup at our Cheney, WA yard or bulk delivery across the greater Spokane area.
