Utility bedding sand delivery questions
What is utility bedding sand?
A clean, soft, low silt sand with no sharp rock, used to cradle and cover pipe and conduit in trenches so nothing presses on the line.
Can I use masonry or concrete sand instead?
Sometimes, but utility bedding sand is screened for bedding work. If a city, utility or engineer spec applies, tell dispatch and we'll match it.
Do you deliver to trenching contractors on short notice?
Yes. Call dispatch at (737) 600-5735 for next-day loads and multi-load schedules on bigger jobs.
How much do I need?
Trench width times length times bedding plus cover depth. A 2 foot wide trench with 12 inches of sand takes about 1 ton per 12 feet. The calculator above does the math.
