Search for crushed granite in Hartford, CT.

It should be wet down, compacted in layers ~ 2 inches at a time. It
is almost is hard as concrete. Driveways have it out west.

Forget sand, IMO.

Search for crushed granite in Hartford, CT.

Or crushed stone, rock, gravel, sand etc. Places that sell that
would be likely sources. Or search for pavers. Places that sell
pavers have it or know where to get it.

Playbox sand is sold at almost every building supply and hardware store.
But if you're doing a large patio, I'd buy it bulk from a quarry. Those
small bags get costly when you need lots of them.

When I installed my patio, I just went to the local quarry with 12 five
gallon buckets and filled them with my shovel. The guy said it was
50cents per pail, but only charged me $5 for 12 of them, since I had to
fill them myself. He said his machinery is too big to fill buckets!

I had to go back for a second load, so it only cost me $10 for the sand.
The playbox sand bags sold in the stores are probably slightly less than
a 5 gallon pail, and they cost close to $5 each.

Play box sand is for a play box. Not a compacted foundation for
pavers, driveway, etc.
