Great Sand!

Would Recommend

This is my go to sand whenever I need sand, which is pretty frequent as I keep many reptiles and use this mixed with topsoil for them. Very affordable, making it a great substrate option. Always clean.

Wrong Delivery

Would Not Recommend

You delivered my Order # 300901044261252362 to the wrong address. I had to go to the wrong address and move all those heavy bags of lime and dirt to my house. I paid for delivery, but I did the work myself. I want a refund of the delivery fee.

Works great in the garden.

I purchased this product to start seedlings for the garden. It's a great value, with one bag being enough to last me for years.

Sand is wet in the bag.

Would Recommend

Sand was wet when purchased. Had to dry it in the oven. Once dried, it works great for traction on the ice on my walkway.

Did the job

Successfully used it to sand an ice covered walkway to my house. Seemed to have slightly chemical smell but not a dealbreaker.
