Construction Sand
Trusted Supplier of High-Grade Construction Sand Across South East Melbourne
At Skip Bins Pro, we recognise that construction sand is not just a filler—it’s a fundamental material that underpins the strength, stability, and longevity of countless building and civil engineering projects across South East Melbourne. That’s why we supply only high-quality, construction-grade sand that is carefully sourced, rigorously screened, and precisely graded to meet the demands of modern construction. Our commitment to purity ensures our sands are free from silts, clays, and organic matter, guaranteeing reliable performance whether you’re mixing durable concrete, preparing paving bases, or creating stable bedding layers. With our expertise, you’ll always receive the right grade of sand for your project’s structural requirements.
The quality of construction sand directly affects the workability of concrete and mortar, the stability of paved surfaces, and the reliability of trench backfill. Inferior sand can cause weak concrete, premature cracking, or uneven settlement, leading to costly repairs. At Skip Bins Pro, we eliminate these risks by supplying washed and screened sand that meets strict Australian standards. Every tonne we deliver contributes to the strength and long-term success of your project, giving you the confidence to build with precision and durability.

Our Construction Sand: Engineered for Precision, Strength & Performance
Skip Bins Pro supplies a comprehensive range of construction-grade sands, each tailored for specific applications in the civil and building sectors. Our sands are known for their consistent quality, clean composition, and excellent workability.
1. Brick Sand (Brickie’s Sand): For Strong & Durable Masonry
Our brick sand is a finely graded, often yellowish or brownish sand, specifically engineered for use in mortar mixes for bricklaying and blockwork. Its consistent particle size and optimal clay content provide exceptional plasticity and workability, allowing bricklayers to achieve strong, uniform, and durable mortar joints. This is crucial for the structural integrity and aesthetic finish of walls, facades, and any masonry element in both residential and commercial buildings.
2. Bedding Sand: For Stable & Level Paved Surfaces
Bedding sand is a medium-grained, clean sand primarily used as a compactable layer beneath paving stones, concrete slabs, and other hardscaping elements. Its consistent grading allows it to be easily screeded to a precise level, providing a uniform and stable base that prevents movement, settlement, and unevenness in the finished surface. This is critical for the longevity and aesthetic appeal of driveways, patios, walkways, and large-scale public plazas.
3. Concrete Mix Sand: For High-Strength Concrete Applications
Our concrete mix sand (often called ‘washed concrete sand’ or ‘river sand’ depending on source) is a coarser, washed sand, free from impurities, which is a vital component in high-strength concrete mixes. Its clean, granular nature contributes directly to the strength, durability, and workability of the concrete, ensuring optimal performance for structural elements. When combined with aggregates and cement, it forms the matrix that binds the concrete, influencing its compressive strength, resistance to cracking, and overall longevity.
4. Trench Fill Sand: Protecting & Stabilising Underground Services
Trench fill sand (often a clean, medium-grained sand) is specifically used for backfilling trenches around underground utilities such as pipes, electrical conduits, and communication cables. Its granular nature allows it to compact easily around the services, providing a protective cushioning layer that minimises damage from future ground movement or sharp objects during backfilling. It also allows for efficient and uniform compaction, contributing to the stability of the trench and the surrounding ground.
