What can I do with leftover builders sand?

[NoTruckWithFrontedAdverbials]

Can it go in the garden?
Flower beds?
Dribble it out of trouser legs like in Great Escape

Well obviously you build yourself a sand put. Don't even tell me you wouldn't enjoy it, you surely would.

Soft sand or sharp sand?

If it’s a decent amount, stick it on a local free cycle page, it will be taken off your hands in no time.

Have a beach party!

Well you lot are no help!

I was thinking more plants/lawn etc.

Make a pizza oven (other components are required)..

You could scatter it on the lawn if you wanted to or if you have holes to fill. Likewise you could dig it into your beds if you wanted to.

I also think beach party. Designate a section of the garden for a beach scene and add cocktails and inflatables. Voila!!

Grow carrots in it!

Fill sandbags to hold down a gazebo/trampoline?

Mix it with soil to loosen it and plant things that like poor well draining soil in it? Sand is essential for cactus planting and if you have heavy clay soil I think it helps things like Lavender.

If it's orangey builders sand it'll make your soil more alkaline. Keep it away from acid lovers (Rhododendrons etc)

Soft sand or sharp sand?

Good question, I automatically read it as being soft because op wrote builders sand and my brain saw building sand meaning it was soft 😂

How much have you got op? In some areas aggregates are hard to source so if you have a fair amount it could be worth selling on.

@NoTruckWithFrontedAdverbials Just out of curiosity, why would you want to dribble it down your trousers in the first place?! Sounds uncomfortable! How much of it do you have?

The trousers are a reference to “The Great Escape”

soft sand I think (soft to the touch - like a sandy beach, not like a pebbly beach).

will start filling in lawn gaps.

guess I need to find out which plants like alkaline soil and distribute it round them!

for those of you who don't know it, it's an absolutely amazing film - so different from modern films - and ages really well.
recommend watching all the way through but the trouser bit is epic.

Be very careful putting it on your lawn, some builders sand binds as it's to hold things together, these means that you can cause compaction and poor drainage in your lawn. Exactly the opposite of what you want to do.
