A quick GOOGLR sees that silver sand is also referred to as silica sand ?? Who knows .... not me ..... I don't do re-instatements.

Wikipedia says Silver sand is a fine white sand used in gardening. It consists largely of quartz particles that are not coated with iron oxides. Iron oxides colour sand from yellows to rich browns. Sliver sand is also used as a constituent of mortar for laying light coloured pavers.

So as Starman said, looks like they're planning to re-lay some paving slabs which maybe because they're uneven. Or they want to do some gardening...
