Sand (Washed, Manufactured)
Applications & Uses
Washed, Manufactured Sand is a high-quality construction aggregate produced by crushing and processing stone to create fine, uniform particles. The "washed" attribute means the sand has been thoroughly cleaned to remove clay, silt, and dust, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent product. As a manufactured material, it offers reliable gradation and fewer impurities compared to natural sands.
This sand is ideal for applications where cleanliness and consistency are critical, such as in concrete production, masonry work, and as a bedding layer for pavers. The washing process reduces dust, making it safer and more pleasant to handle, while the manufactured aspect ensures predictable performance and compaction. Common uses include residential patios, walkways, and commercial construction projects requiring stable, high-quality sand. Pros include excellent drainage, minimal dust, and uniformity; however, it may not be as soft as natural sand for play areas.
