I have two tons of building sand left over from a building project. I am about to lay some brick edgings for a gravel driveway and wondered if I could use the building sand as opposed to sharp sand to set the bricks into. I wasn't thinking of a dry mix as this would wash away but using a stronger wet mix (say 3:1 sand:cement) on a hardcore base to set the bricks in. Would this be acceptable or would I need to strengthen the mix with say gravel?
