Guess I know where I will be getting the sand then

Will this type of sand compact to the point where it suffocates plant
roots
though?

Any sand (or other material for that matter) will compact to a point... then
stop. It is a matter of grain size and physics. It cannot, however,
'suffocate' roots. The only plants susceptible to 'suffocation' are the
ones requiring the rhizome or stem be above the substrate surface.
