Why Choose Washed Sand for Landscaping?
Washed sand has been processed to remove a portion of the fine particles and unwanted material found in some unwashed aggregates. This creates a workable material suitable for many general landscaping and construction applications.
The relatively fine 3mm grading makes this sand useful for spreading, levelling and screeding. It can be used where a consistent sand layer is required and the material meets the installation specifications.
For paving stone installations, the bedding material must match the requirements of the paving system. Sand used for bedding should not automatically be treated as suitable joint sand or polymeric sand.
If you are using sand for concrete, mortar or another engineered application, confirm the required grading and material specifications before ordering.
