Every good build starts from the ground up, and sharp sand is what holds that base together. At Growing Beds Recycling Services, we supply bulk bags of coarse, screened sharp sand to sites across Bedfordshire. Whether you’re laying a patio in your back garden or prepping foundations on a larger build, the right material makes all the difference.
This isn’t your average soft building sand. Sharp sand has a grittier texture that makes it ideal for laying paving slabs, creating strong screeds, improving drainage and mixing into concrete. It provides structure where it matters most.
We supply one carefully chosen grade that works across a wide range of applications. It’s clean, consistent and ready when you are.
If you’ve been searching for sharp sand near me, and you’re based in Bedfordshire, we’re already just around the corner.

The amount of sharp sand you’ll need depends on the size of your area, the depth you’re working to, and the type of project you're tackling. Projects like laying paving slabs, screeding floors or improving drainage will all vary slightly in depth and spread.
As a rule of thumb:
One bulk bag of sharp sand can cover a small patio, a section of path or a bedding area
For most paving or landscaping jobs, 1-2 bulk bags are enough to get started
Always factor in some extra supplies for uneven ground or changes in depth
If you're wondering how much sharp sand to order, it's always better to have a little more than not quite enough. Our team is happy to help you work it out based on your project size and goals.
