Base vs Soil vs Sand – What's the Difference?
Choosing the right material makes a big difference in how your project performs over time.
Here's a simple breakdown:
Base
(Road and Paver Base)
Used for structure and stability. Ideal for patios, driveways, and pavers - it compacts tightly to create a strong foundation that prevents shifting.
Soil
(Top Soil / Fill Dirt)
Used for planting and levelling. Top soil supports plant growth, while fill dirt is used for grading and building up areas.
Sand
-
Used for leveling and drainage. Commonly used under pavers or for improving drainage - helps create a smooth, even surface.
