Screened and Washed Concrete Sand
Our washed concrete sand has been screened and washed to remove debris and fine sediments. We sell sand that has been inspected by us and our drivers are always keeping an eye on the materials for quality control.
Choose a material with a sub-angular particle shape. The type of riding or driving activity will partially determine the stability needed in the arena surface. Evenly graded material will have a range of particle sizes, mostly in the middle range of suitable arena particle sizes, but it does not have the extremes that contain the fines (leading to dust and compaction) and large particles.
Riding arena surfaces should contain cleaned and screened, medium to coarse, hard, sharp sand. Fine sand will break down more readily into small enough particles to be lofted as dust. "Cleaned" means the material has been washed of silt and clay, making the sand less compactable and less dusty. "Screened" means large, undesirable particles have been removed and a more uniform-sized material remains that will be less prone to compaction. "Hard" is quartz sand, which will last up to 10 years.
A Footing Recipe to Try
This sand and wood product combination has been used successfully at The Penn State and in many private arenas. Recipe for 1,000 square feet of arena surface:
Sand at 100 lb/cubic ft. density
12 tons for 3 inches deep
8 tons for 2 inches deep
Sawdust at 15 lb/cubic ft. density
1¼ tons (or 6 yards) for 2 inches deep
1/2 to 3/4 ton (or 3 yards) for 1 inch deep
a "yard" is a cubic yard or 27 cubic ft.

Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?Architects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should

Beach Pebble Orders - Mexican Beach Pebbles are hauled from warehouses space we maintain in San Diego, Ontario California and other
cities in the USA on a seasonal basis on common carriers. Pallets weigh 2,000 to 3,000 pounds each and there are service charges if you do not have a forklift or loading dock at the delivery location.
Mixed or Split Loads - Many crushed and decomposed granite quarries produce more than 1 type of rock and several different sizes of materials. To make the most of your trucking expenses we often can to your site 2 different rock colors or sizes.
End-dump deliveries boulders can often be added to crushed rock orders.
