Sand and Loam Caboolture

Looking for reliable sand and loam in Caboolture? Landscape City stocks the sands and loams local trades and homeowners use every day: washed pit sand for bedding and levelling, coarse and medium river sand for paving and building work, 50/50 loam for turf underlay and top dressing, and certified playground sand for sandpits and play areas. Every product is priced clearly per cubic metre, and our Wildlily Road yard is set up for fast loading and prompt delivery.

Knowing the weight per cubic metre matters if you are collecting in a ute or trailer. A cubic metre of 50/50 loam weighs around 1.4 tonnes, so check your vehicle's payload before you arrive and our yard team will load to suit.

Which Sand or Loam Do You Need?

Sands differ in grain size, drainage, how well they compact and how cleanly they wash. Choosing the wrong one can mean pavers that sink, mortar that cracks or turf that struggles to root. Here is how our range matches up to common Caboolture jobs.

Washed Pit Sand

A clean, fine, easy-to-work sand that has been washed to reduce clay and silt. It levels smoothly and settles evenly, making it a go-to for:

• Bedding and screeding under pavers
• Levelling uneven ground before turf or slabs
• Backfilling around pipes and conduit
• General site preparation and fill

Coarse River Sand

Heavier grains and excellent drainage. Coarse river sand is the choice when water needs to move through rather than sit, and when you want a firm, stable base:

• Concrete mixes and structural building work
• Drainage-prone areas and soakage zones
• Paving bases that need to shed water after summer storms
• Horse arena and equestrian surfaces (talk to us about depth and blends)

Medium River Sand

Sitting between fine and coarse, medium river sand is a versatile all-rounder for landscaping, paving and building tasks where you want workability with reasonable drainage. At $111/m³ it is also our most economical sand.

50/50 Loam (Brickies Loam)

A balanced sand and soil blend with enough body to hold together. Tradespeople rely on it for bricklaying and blockwork mortar, while landscapers use it for:

• Turf underlay when laying new lawn
• Top dressing established lawns to fill hollows and encourage thicker growth
• Improving garden bed structure before planting

Certified Playground Sand

A soft, clean sand supplied with a certificate for use in sandpits, childcare centres, schools and public play areas. Playground sand is delivery only and priced on application, so call us with your volume and site details.

Sand and Loam for Turf, Paving and Garden Projects Around Caboolture

South East Queensland's subtropical climate asks a lot of outdoor surfaces. Heavy summer downpours test drainage, clay-heavy backyards in parts of the Moreton Bay region hold water, and long dry spells make it hard for new turf to establish. The right base material solves most of these problems before they start.

• Laying new turf: Spread 50/50 loam or washed pit sand over prepared ground to create an even, free-draining bed that new runners can root into quickly.
• Top dressing lawns: A light layer of loam in spring levels out bumps and helps couch and buffalo lawns thicken up.
• Paving and patios: Use washed pit sand for bedding and coarse river sand where drainage is a priority, then compact before laying.
• Concreting and footings: Coarse river sand provides the strength and consistency concrete mixes need.
• Plumbing and electrical trenches: Clean washed sand cushions pipes and conduit and keeps sharp rocks away from them.
• Garden beds: Blend loam into existing soil to open up heavy ground and improve root growth.
