What is the difference between sharp sand and lawn sand do they do the same job?

Answer 1

Sharp sand feels sharp to the touch and is a much coarser material than lawn sand which is often called soft sand or builder's sand. If you want to lay bricks, soft sand is much easier to work with and to smooth down.

Answer 2

Sharp sand is coarse-grade sand often used for construction purposes, while lawn sand is a mix of sand, ammonium sulphate, and iron sulphate used as a lawn treatment to control moss and promote grass growth. They serve different purposes, with sharp sand being more suitable for building projects and lawn sand specifically for lawn care.
