Brickies Loam is a type of sand that is typically fine-grained and loamy in texture. It is rich in sand and clay, which gives it a smooth, workable consistency. This type of loam is often used in construction, particularly for bricklaying, hence the name "brickies loam." It is sometimes referred to as bricklaying sand because of its key role in providing the ideal texture for creating mortar.
