My husband and I are building a new home and our septic design is for a 5 bedroom home. The excavator is calling for 500 tons of white quartz sand. 500 tons is a lot. Can anyone tell me if that is a rational amount?
No...Get a second or third opinion.
doesn't seem overly stated. sand runs about 2500lb per yard,18 yards on a truck.it all depends on the slope you have and the rise you end up with.not sure the code where your at but you will need approximately the same amount of black dirt as you need in sand possibly 36 yards less.
