First things first… the beach. We needed to bring in a truckload of crusher dust, a great compacting material that allowed us to level the land and provide a foundation for our beach, preventing any tripping hazards. This step involves plenty of digging, spreading and levelling… but it sure beats being stuck in an office! Once the crusher dust is laid in and levelled, it’s time to bring in the sand! In our case it was more dark brown than sun-kissed tan. So unless you want to spend the day ‘trying’ to lighten the sand, don’t follow Andrew’s lead. Just spend the extra few bucks and buy a lighter coloured sand.
