CONCRETE MADE WITH NATURAL RIVER SAND

HIGHER QUALITY READY MIX CONCRETE

At Reeds Spring Ready Mix, we believe the quality of the materials used in concrete makes a real difference in the finished product. That is why our ready mix concrete uses natural river sand instead of manufactured sand.


River sand produces a smoother finish and improves the workability of the concrete mix. While it costs more to source and transport, we consistently use river sand because it contributes to better performing concrete for both commercial and residential construction projects.

WHY RIVER SAND MATTERS IN CONCRETE

The fine aggregate used in concrete plays an important role in how the mix performs and how easily it can be finished. Many concrete suppliers rely on manufactured sand, sometimes called "man sand," which is produced by crushing rock.


Natural river sand is formed over time through natural erosion and water movement. This process creates smooth, rounded particles that blend more easily into concrete mixes.


These characteristics help produce concrete that is easier to work with during placement and finishing.

RIVER SAND VS MANUFACTURED SAND

While both materials can be used in concrete, there are important differences between natural river sand and manufactured sand. The type of materials used in a concrete mix can affect how the concrete performs and how easily it can be finished on the job site.

RIVER SAND

  • Naturally rounded particles
  • Improves workability of the mix
  • Helps create smoother concrete finishes
  • Consistent performance for flatwork and slabs

MANUFACTURED SAND

  • Crushed and more angular particles
  • Can make concrete harsher to work with
  • Often used because it is cheaper and easier to source

At Reeds Spring Ready Mix, we prioritize quality and consistency. That is why our concrete mixes are made using natural river sand.
