{"product_id":"bedding-sand-calgary-5mm","title":"5mm Bedding Sand — Bulk Delivery Calgary","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBedding sand is the layer that makes or breaks a paving stone installation. Get it right and your patio, walkway, or driveway stays level and solid for years. Skip it or use the wrong material and you'll be resetting pavers every spring after Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles do their damage. Our 5mm bedding sand is screened to a consistent fine grain, compacts firmly, and is the standard base material used by Calgary landscapers and contractors for paving stone installs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it's used for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaving stone and interlock base\u003c\/strong\u003e — the primary use.

Ground that isn't properly prepared heaves in spring and settles unevenly in summer. A properly compacted gravel base topped with 1 inch of bedding sand absorbs movement and keeps your surface level season after season. It's not the glamorous part of the job — but it's the part that determines whether your patio looks great in year five or needs to be reset every spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe correct bedding sand layer is 1 inch — not more. Too thick and it becomes unstable under load. Spread it over your compacted road crush base, screed it level, and set your pavers directly on top. Do not compact the sand before setting pavers — compact after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much do you need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor a 1-inch layer under pavers, budget roughly 0.3 cubic yards per 100 square feet.
