Sand (#2, Washed, Coarse)
Applications & Uses
Washed Coarse Sand (#2 Size Range)
Washed coarse sand in the #2 size range is a high-quality aggregate produced by thoroughly cleaning natural sand to remove silt, clay, and other impurities. The washing process ensures a cleaner, more consistent product, while the coarse grain size provides excellent structural properties.
The #2 size range offers larger, more angular particles compared to fine sand, which enhances drainage and reduces compaction. This makes washed coarse sand ideal for applications such as concrete mixing, bedding for pavers, pipe bedding, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. Its clean, coarse texture also makes it suitable for use in playgrounds, sports fields, and landscaping projects where drainage and stability are important. The main advantage of this material is its ability to promote water flow and resist settling, though it may not be suitable for projects requiring a smooth, compacted finish.
