Sand and Gravel is composed of particles of feldspar, limestone, slag, gypsum, coral, or quartz formed by such natural processes as erosion and weathering. Roughly 80 to 85 percent of the weight of concrete is typically contained in its sand and gravel aggregate content. In other words, one ton of concrete usually contains about 1,700 pounds of sand and gravel. An estimated 54,000 pounds of sand and gravel are used in the construction of a typical new American home.

Then, all of a sudden, sand becomes a whole different ballgame – it’s a necessary component of most construction projects, and getting hold of the stuff at a good price becomes an issue.
