Quick answer

Coarse Sand is a clean, sharp-edged sand for backfilling, concreting, bedding pavers and improving soil structure. Its sharp texture makes a strong mix with cement for mortar, grout, paving and building up height under tiles. In landscaping it is used to top dress lawns, manage thatch and improve drainage, and mixing it into heavy clay soils makes them less compact for better root growth and water infiltration.
