    White brick sand or brickie sand is a light, grey coloured sand used for cementing brickwork or under pool liners for above ground swimming pools. Note that sand colour may vary from time to time. Call us for a quote on white brick sand. 

  • What types of sand do you supply in Port Macquarie?

    We stock various sands for landscaping and construction. Our range includes brick and block sand, white brick sand, tiling and rendering sand, bedding sand for paving and turf bases, and coarse or sharp sand for concreting and drainage. Every type is screened and consistent in quality, so whether you’re mixing mortar, levelling ground, or prepping soil, you’ll find the right sand for your project.

  • What is the best type of sand for paving or concreting?

    For paving or concreting, a coarse, sharp sand is best. Its angular grains compact well and drain efficiently, creating a solid, stable base. Bedding or washed river sand is ideal under pavers, while brick or concrete sand works well in cement mixes. At Ian Brown Sand Supplies, our concreting and bedding sands are chosen for strength, easy compaction, and long-lasting results.

  • Can I use sand for garden or turf preparation?

    Yes, sand helps level surfaces, improve drainage, and support healthy turf growth. It’s often mixed with soil to break up heavy clay and allow better root development. For turf laying, clean bedding sand creates a smooth, even base that helps grass establish quickly. Based on local conditions in Port Macquarie, we can recommend the right sand blend for your garden or lawn.

  • How do I know which type of sand is right for my project?

    The right sand depends on what you’re building and the outcome you need. Coarse sands are best for paving, drainage, and concrete work, while finer sands suit rendering or filling joints. For gardens or turf, clean bedding sand gives a level surface and good water flow. If you’re unsure, our team can guide you toward the best option for your landscape project in Port Macquarie.
