Concrete sand is graded to ASTM C33. That's the spec for fine aggregate in structural concrete. If your mix design calls for it, this is what you order. Batch plants, precast yards, and block manufacturers in Southwest Louisiana all use it. The gradation controls the strength.
Not all sand mixes the same. Standard washed sand has looser gradation tolerances. Concrete sand sits in a tighter window. Every grain falls in a specific size range. That controls your water-cement ratio and the PSI you pull at 28 days.
We supply batch plants and job sites across Calcasieu Parish. One load for a Lake Charles driveway or a recurring schedule for a Sulphur commercial project. Always in stock. Next-day delivery. Browse all sand types we stock.
Common UsesCommon Uses for Concrete Sand
Ready-Mix Operations
Batch plants in Southwest Louisiana use it as their primary fine aggregate. The gradation is tight and consistent. Every truck that leaves the plant hits the same mix. That is what they need and what we supply.
Block Manufacturing
Block plants can't have gradation drift. Shows up in density and dimensional accuracy. Ours holds the spec run to run. Block operations in Calcasieu Parish count on that.
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 and hit surface finish specs. We've supplied precast yards in the region with zero tolerance for off-spec material.
Commercial Paving
Parking lots and flatwork in South Louisiana take punishment from the humidity. The right aggregate gives you a surface that resists cracking longer. Concrete sand is where that mix starts.
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.

Graded to ASTM C33. The grain size falls within a defined spec window. Regular washed sand has wider tolerances. In structural concrete, off-spec aggregate changes your water-cement ratio. That changes your strength. Concrete sand keeps the mix where it needs to be.
How much do I need per yard of concrete?
A standard mix uses about 1,200 pounds of aggregate per cubic yard of 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, or call us with your spec.
Do you deliver to ready-mix plants?
Yes. We deliver to batch plants, precast yards, and block manufacturers across Calcasieu Parish. Recurring deliveries for production schedules, no problem. Consistency in supply matters as much as consistency in gradation.
Is your material ASTM C33 compliant?
Yes. Meets ASTM C33 for fine aggregate. If your inspector is checking material certs, call us. We'll confirm what documentation we can provide. No surprise aggregate here.
Can I use it for a residential driveway?
Yes. Mixing your own concrete for a driveway or patio in Calcasieu Parish, use this. Costs a bit more than fill sand. What you get is a pour that won't develop scale cracks in three summers. Worth it.
