What Is Screened Cushion Sand?
Screened cushion sand is a soft, fine sand that’s been filtered (or “screened”) to remove debris and large particles. This makes it ideal for construction, masonry, and landscaping work that needs smooth, compacted layers. It’s often used as a base for pavers, concrete slabs, drainage solutions, and even pipe bedding.
JBS Express McKinney’s screened cushion sand is meticulously processed to ensure quality, consistency, and ease of use—perfect for both small home projects and large-scale construction sites.
Common Uses for Screened Cushion Sand
Concrete and Masonry Work
This type of cushion sand is excellent for concrete work and mortar preparation. It provides a compact, stable base that supports everything from brick walls to cement walkways.
Leveling and Backfill
Thanks to its fine texture, screened cushion sand is commonly used for leveling surfaces, backfilling around pipes, and smoothing out yards and landscapes.
Drainage and Erosion Control
With its ability to filter and shift without washing away, screened cushion sand is an excellent option for enhancing drainage in areas prone to water accumulation.
Road and Pad Prep
Contractors often use this sand as a base layer under roads, driveways, and slabs to help reduce shifting and maintain stability.

FAQs About Screened Cushion Sand
What is screened cushion sand used for?
It’s mainly used for leveling, paver bases, mortar work, pipe bedding, and drainage projects. It’s also used to smooth out uneven lawns or backfill around construction areas.
How is screened cushion sand different from regular sand?
Regular sand may contain rocks or debris. Screened cushion sand is sifted for a more uniform texture, making it easier to work with in masonry, drainage, and fine finish applications.
Can I use it for my lawn or garden?
Yes! It’s great for leveling lawn areas or mixing into soil to improve drainage. While it’s not a nutrient-rich soil conditioner, it works well when paired with compost or topsoil.

Absolutely. JBS Express McKinney delivers bulk screened cushion sand by the cubic yard or ton, and we’ll drop it off right where you need it—whether it’s a job site, backyard, or farm.

It depends on your project. One cubic yard covers around 100 square feet at 2–3 inches deep. Give us a call, and we’ll help calculate your exact volume.
