Sand, Gravel & Blacktop Repair (28 items found)

Sand and gravel form an essential base for a wide variety of home improvement, repair and landscaping projects. The gravel and sand selection at Ace Hardware has a great variety of products to successfully complete all your DIY jobs.

Versatile All-Purpose Sand

All-purpose sand is a versatile and economical material with many uses around the home and yard. Lay it under a patio to provide a firm yet well-draining base, use it as landscaping sand to loosen up heavy clay soils or fill up flood barriers to prevent flood water from entering your property. Opt for tube sand to provide winter traction or to hold down temporary fencing. Finer grades of sand can also be used in gardening—just mix it with potting compost to improve drainage or spread it across flower bed surfaces to protect delicate plants from pests.

You can also mix our all-purpose sand with gravel and cement to make concrete for a wide range of construction and repair uses around your home and yard. Check out our ready-mix concrete options if you’re on the hunt for high-grade concrete with easy prep.

Jointing Sand and Blacktop Repair

Our sand and gravel range also includes products for blacktop repair and asphalt repair on patios, pathways and other areas that could use a little TLC. Simply spread the jointing sand over the area you want to fix, mist it with water or press it into place, and watch the product form a strong and durable bond that fixes pavers into place or covers up potholes and other blacktop damage.

Fine-Graded Play Sand

Browse a range of play sand that’s perfect for pairing with yard toys to keep little ones amused on long summer days. Play sand has a finer consistency than other types of sand, and it’s washed and screened before packing to remove dust and impurities.  For an extra touch of fun, we also supply play sand in various colors, from standard white sand or gold sand to magical sand colors like pink and purple.

If hauling heavy bags of sand by hand isn’t on your to-do list, we’ve got you covered. Make the job easier with durable wheelbarrows and dump carts, plus a selection of digging tools to create a stable space for your child’s sand pit.

Gravel in the Grades You Need

Our gravel range features plenty of materials and grades, all fully washed and size-matched for consistency. Our all-purpose gravel is designed for home improvement and construction tasks, including:

• Creating decorative mulches in permanent flower beds or borders.
• Quick and easy construction of walkways through your yard.
• Mixing with all-purpose sand and cement to make concrete.
• Lining fishponds and other water features.
• Underlying pathways and patios to combine strength and drainage.

Find gravel available in bags of varying sizes, making it easy to transport and store. You can pour it straight from the bag, and it’s an economical choice for use in small-to-medium home projects.
