3mm Washed Sand (C33 / Septic Sand)

Price

C$28.00

3 mm washed sand is a clean, fine aggregate commonly used for drainage, bedding, and construction applications. Often referred to as river sand or septic sand, this material is washed to remove clay and fine silt, leaving behind consistent sand-sized particles with a smooth, even texture. Its natural grey to brown colour can appear silvery when dry, reflecting its mineral content.

 

Sourced locally from river deposits, the sand is mined, washed, and processed through settling ponds before drying and screening. This produces a reliable, clean product suitable for both residential and commercial projects where drainage is important.
