Pit sand, also referred to as coarse sand, is sourced from natural deposits. This type of sand has a gritty texture, setting it apart from the smoother river sand. It finds application in various construction tasks, including surface leveling, as a bedding material for pavement stones, and as a base for laying pipes and utilities. While not recommended for concrete work due to its relatively high silt and clay content, pit sand is versatile for a range of other construction applications.
