Concrete sand is graded to ASTM C33. That's the specification for fine aggregate in structural concrete. If your mix design calls for it, this is what you order. Batch plants, precast yards, block manufacturers, and paving contractors in Southwest Louisiana all use it for the same reason: the gradation controls the strength.
Not all sand mixes the same. Standard washed sand has looser gradation tolerances. Concrete sand sits in a tighter specification window. Every grain falls in a specific size range. That controls your water-cement ratio, your aggregate interlock, and the PSI you're going to pull at 28 days.
We supply it to batch plants and job sites across Calcasieu Parish. One load for a Lake Charles driveway or a recurring schedule for a Sulphur commercial project. We keep it in stock and we deliver. Next-day delivery guaranteed. Call early for next-day delivery. Browse all sand types we stock.
ApplicationsCommon Uses for Concrete Sand
Ready-Mix Operations
Batch plants in Southwest Louisiana use concrete sand as their primary fine aggregate. The gradation is tight and consistent. Every truck that leaves the plant hits the same mix. That's what they need and what we supply.
Block Manufacturing
Block plants can't have gradation drift. It shows up in density and dimensional accuracy. Our concrete sand holds the specification run to run. Block operations in Calcasieu Parish count on that consistency to keep production on schedule.
Structural Slabs
Foundation pours and commercial floor slabs get engineered PSI targets. You hit those targets with spec aggregate. Concrete sand is what gets you there. Generic washed sand may not.
Precast Concrete
Precast operations need consistent aggregate to fill molds, hit surface finish specs, and test out at the required strength. We've supplied precast yards in the region that have zero tolerance for inconsistent material.
Commercial Paving
Parking lots and flatwork in a humid South Louisiana climate take punishment. The right aggregate gives you a tight surface that resists cracking longer. Concrete sand is what that mix starts with.
Residential Concrete
Pouring a driveway in Moss Bluff or a patio slab in Westlake. Concrete sand gives a homeowner's pour the same aggregate a commercial job uses. Costs a little more than fill sand. Lasts considerably longer.

What makes concrete sand different from regular sand?
Concrete sand is graded to ASTM C33. That means the grain size falls within a defined specification window. Regular sand or general washed sand has wider tolerances. In a structural concrete mix, off-spec aggregate changes your water-cement ratio. That changes your strength. Concrete sand keeps the mix where it needs to be.
How much concrete sand do I need per yard of concrete?
A standard mix uses about 1,200 pounds of sand per cubic yard of finished concrete, roughly 0.45 tons. Ten yards of concrete needs about 4.5 tons of sand. Your mix design will have the exact ratio. Use the calculator on this page for slab projects, or call us with your mix spec and we'll work the numbers.
Do you deliver concrete sand to ready-mix plants?
Yes. We deliver to batch plants, precast yards, and block manufacturers across Calcasieu Parish. If you run a production schedule, we can set up recurring deliveries. Call us and we'll work out the logistics. Consistency in supply matters as much as consistency in gradation.
Is your concrete sand ASTM C33 compliant?
Yes. Our concrete sand meets ASTM C33 for fine aggregate. If you're on a project where the inspector is checking material certs, call us and we'll confirm what documentation we can provide. We don't carry surprise aggregate.
Can I use concrete sand for a residential driveway project?
Yes. If you're mixing your own concrete for a driveway or patio in Calcasieu Parish, use concrete sand. It costs a bit more than general fill sand. What you get is a pour that won't develop scale cracks in three summers. Worth the difference.
