Clean Sand

Clean sand is a high-quality construction aggregate that has been thoroughly washed to remove clay, silt, dust, and other impurities. This process results in a material that is free of contaminants, making it ideal for applications where purity and performance are essential.

The "clean" attribute ensures that the sand will not introduce unwanted fines or debris into your project, which is especially important for concrete mixes, mortar, and bedding for pavers. Clean sand is also commonly used for playgrounds, sandboxes, and as a base for above-ground pools, where cleanliness and safety are priorities. Its lack of dust reduces mess and improves worksite conditions, but it may be less suitable for applications requiring high compaction, as the absence of fines can make it less stable under heavy loads. Overall, clean sand is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial projects where a contaminant-free aggregate is required.
