Quality Masonry Sand for Every Construction Project
When it comes to building strong, lasting structures, having the right materials makes all the difference. At JBS Express McKinney, we offer premium masonry sand that’s perfect for your mortar, concrete, and stucco needs. Whether you’re working on a backyard retaining wall, laying pavers, or starting a large construction project, our masonry sand delivers consistent quality for great results every time.
What is Masonry Sand and Why Does It Matter?
Masonry sand is a fine, clean sand specially designed for mixing with cement and gravel to create strong, workable mortar or concrete. Unlike regular sand, masonry sand has smaller, smoother grains that help it blend evenly with other materials, making it ideal for projects requiring a smooth finish and excellent bonding properties.
Using the right type of sand helps prevent cracking, ensures proper strength, and improves the overall durability of your brick or stone structures.

Uses for Our Premium Masonry Sand
1. Mortar and Bricklaying
Our fine, consistent masonry sand mixes perfectly with cement and lime to form strong mortar for laying brick, block, or stone. It improves adhesion and keeps your walls solid.
2. Concrete Mixes
Whether you’re making concrete for a retaining wall, sidewalk, or landscape edging, our masonry sand provides the smooth texture needed for easy pouring and finishing.

For a clean, smooth finish on walls or exterior surfaces, mixing masonry sand with cement ensures the plaster sticks well and lasts.

Our masonry sand is carefully screened and washed to remove impurities, including rock, gravel, and clay. This clean sand consists primarily of silicon dioxide, the same mineral that gives it strength and durability.
