The source and quality of fill sand can significantly impact its cost. Fill sand sourced from quarries or mines tends to be more expensive than sand sourced from natural deposits or rivers. This is because the extraction process from quarries or mines involves additional costs such as machinery, labor, and permits.
Quarrying is the process of extracting minerals such as rocks, sand and gravel from the earth. A quarry is the place where this happens and normally looks like a deep pit.
