It is recommended to use crushed sand. It is an economic and ecological alternative to natural sand. Crushed sand possesses properties similar to that of river and is a more sustainable construction material. Scientifically use of crushed sand will provide a long-term solution to construction industry to overcome shortage of river sand.

Washed and screened gravel ¹ is the best type to put beneath concrete slabs. Ideally, the gravel should measure ¾–1 inch in size. While larger gravel can still work well, compacting and leveling it can be quite troublesome. It could also be too porous for some types of concrete, meaning it'll require more of it.
