Unwashed Sand (#200 to 3/8” Size Range)
Unwashed sand in the #200 to 3/8" size range is a naturally occurring aggregate that retains its fine particles and clay content, as it has not undergone a washing process. This material is typically sourced from riverbeds or quarries and screened to achieve the specified gradation, which includes both very fine particles (as small as #200 mesh) and coarser grains up to 3/8" in diameter.
The unwashed attribute means the sand contains more dust, silt, and organic material compared to washed sand. This can be beneficial for certain applications, such as backfilling, pipe bedding, or as a base layer for pavers, where increased compaction and binding are desired. However, the presence of fines can make it less suitable for concrete mixes or decorative uses, as it may affect strength and appearance. Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, unwashed sand is valued for its affordability and versatility, but users should be aware that it may create more dust and require additional cleanup.Applications & Uses
