FDOT concrete sand, also known as FDOT sand, washed concrete sand, coarse construction sand, or fine aggregate, is a high-quality sand produced to meet applicable Florida Department of Transportation requirements for grading, cleanliness, and performance. Its consistent particle distribution makes it a dependable choice for concrete, asphalt, roadway, and structural construction projects.
The sand is washed to reduce excess silt, clay, and unwanted material, creating a clean aggregate that blends evenly with cement, asphalt binder, and other construction materials. Its coarse, well-graded texture supports strong bonding, reliable compaction, and effective drainage while helping finished mixes maintain consistent strength and durability.
FDOT concrete sand is commonly selected for infrastructure and commercial construction because it provides controlled quality and predictable performance. It is suitable for projects that require specification-grade fine aggregate, including concrete production, paving, hardscape preparation, and roadway construction. Exact gradation may vary depending on the approved source and project requirements.
