AG Sand

[sun]

Hi,

I was talking to one of the contractor and he mentioned that he will use "AG Sand" for construction. After hearing it for the first time, I asked him more about it, he says it is a good type of same excavated from lands next to rivers. (River Banks). He says he built atlest 20 building with AG sand and till date no issues (from past 5 + years) and owners are happy about it too. He didnt mention the price though.

Anyone heard or used AG sand before, please do share some details!

Thank you

I haven't heard about "AG sand", from what you have mentioned it looks like he is planning to use filter sand.
From my experience I can tell you one thing, do not fall into such things, just use materials which everyone is using, even if it turns out to be costly up front, you will have peace of mind later.
If it was really good as he thinks, then everyone would have used it by now.
