What is Pit Sand?

Pit sand, also called local pit sand or building sand, is a naturally quarried sand used mainly for mortar mixes in bricklaying and general construction. Sourced directly from sand pits, the sand can be brown, red, or yellow depending on the local geology.

Key Uses for Local Pit Sand

  • Mortar mix for bricklaying
  • General building and construction projects
  • Filling, backfilling, and groundwork

Is Pit Sand Suitable for Face Brick?

Local pit sand is generally not recommended for face brickwork or decorative finishes, as its colour may change and it is typically coarser than yellow, red, or black pit sands. For consistent colour and finer texture, choose a dedicated face brick sand.
