Unwashed Sand (#200 to 3/4” Size Range)
Unwashed sand in the #200 to 3/4" size range is a naturally occurring aggregate that has not undergone a cleaning process to remove silt, clay, or organic matter. This material typically contains a mix of fine particles and larger granules, offering a broad gradation that can be beneficial for certain construction applications.
The unwashed attribute means the sand retains its natural fines, which can improve compaction and binding in fill or subbase layers, making it suitable for backfilling, trench bedding, and general site leveling. However, the presence of fines may lead to increased dust and reduced drainage compared to washed sand, so it is less ideal for applications requiring clean, free-draining material, such as concrete production or playgrounds. This sand is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects where cost-effectiveness and compaction are priorities, but where a perfectly clean finish is not required.Applications & Uses
