River Sands- Since 1974
River Sands starting sand mining in 1974 at Carbrook QLD. After exhausting supply, the dredging operation was moved nearby to Eagleby in 2002. The sand is dredged from Eagleby, pumped 1.2km under the Logan River, and then separated into three different sizes (fine, medium and Coarse) at the Carbrook processing plant.
Once separated, the three sand grades are then moved to the adjoining packing factory. They are dried, sized and packed into the Easy Mix, Applied Concrete Solutions and Render Systems Australia ranges of packaged Concrete, Mortars, Synthetic Turf Sands, Screeds, Renders and Filter Sands.
The company also supplies sand to leading masonry and asphalt factories.
At this time the only materials available for sale are the below items including Soft Fall Sand, Horse Arena Sand and Decorative Gravel.

 | Certified Soft Fall Sand (to AS4422) River Sands Soft Fall Sand is specifically designed as an under-surfacing material that meets Australian Standards AS4422 for fall heights of up to 3 metres. The sand blend is suitable for residential, including housing estates, civil uses and by local governments or where protection from a 3 metre fall is essential. Soft Fall Sand is independently certified and NATA tested to comply with Australian Standards AS4422. | $34 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Certified Bio Media River Sands certified Bio Media is a specially blended sandy loam used as the top layer for WSUD Bioretention stormwater applications. With specifications of saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of 100-400mm/hr, 3-10% organics and low orthophosphate, each batch is independent tested to comply with FAWB guidelines and Water By Design specifications. Certificates of compliance for each batch supplied are shared upon delivery of the material to the job site. | $58 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Certified Bio Trans Sand River Sands Bio Trans sand is an engineered, coarse sand washed and graded to ensure less than 2% ‘fines’ content. With a coarser grading and saturated hydrated conductivity greater than the Bio Media, this clean transition sand is able to support the bridging layer between both the filter media and drainage media specified in Water by Design WSUD and FAWB Guidelines. | $35 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Decorative White Sand The silica sand is washed to ensure very little dust is present and shows off the vibrant white colour. It is finely graded with a nominal sizing of 0.1mm – 0.5mm, making it suitable for multiple applications, including landscaping, decorative concrete, making white mortar, renders and grouts. | $110 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Horse Arena Sand River Sands offers two options for arena or track sand: C38 and RW Coarse. RW Coarse is harvested from a nearby quarry. They are cleaned sands with high silica content for durability and hardness. Both sands also provide good drainage, even when covered and exposed to the elements, and have very little clay content to limit dust. | $52.50 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Synthetic Turf Sand- Kiln Dried River Sands Synthetic Turf Sand is double washed to remove any clay, dirt, and dust; providing cleaner, dust-free working conditions. It is kiln-dried to assist with clump-free placement and easy spreading. The sand is passed through a sieve and graded to the optimal particle size of 0.2mm-1.0mm for artificial turf, ensuring no oversized particles or shells are included. | $210 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Tilers Coarse Sand Our Tile and Bedding Sand (also known as Coarse Sand C38) is subrounded, clean, silica river sand that is graded to the ideal particle size greater than 0.6mm. It is our more popular sand used by commercial tilers for making site mixed screed as the shape and size ensures easy troweling and saves time on labour and finishing surfaces. | $100 per 1T bulk bag +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
 | Decorative White Gravel 15-25mm A versatile material that is a smart and eco-friendly choice for a variety of applications. It can be used for drainage and structural support in driveways, pipe bedding, and water management. | $350 per tonne +GST | Safety Data Sheet |
