Washed Pit Sand

Washed Pit Sand is a clean, versatile sand commonly used for a wide range of landscaping and construction applications, including:

• Mixing concrete and mortar
• Bedding pipes and underground services
• Bricklaying and rendering
• General landscaping projects
• Filling around paving and retaining walls

The difference between Coarse Bedding Sand and Washed Pit Sand is their particle size. This difference makes each sand suitable for different landscaping and construction applications.

Washed Pit Sand is a finer sand that has been washed and processed to remove impurities. This clean sand is suitable for use in concrete, mortar, pipe bedding, and general construction applications.

Coarse Bedding Sand has larger particles and is best used as a bedding layer beneath pavers, retaining walls, artificial turf, and other landscaping materials.

Yes. Washed Pit Sand has been washed and processed to create a fine blend that is free from debris and contaminants. It is a suitable choice for concrete mixes and is commonly combined with cement, aggregate, and water.

To calculate how much Washed Pit Sand you need for your project, measure the length and width of the area where the sand will be placed.

Next, determine the desired depth of the sand. The required depth will vary depending on the project you are undertaking and the area you need to fill.

Once you have your length, width, and depth measurements, you can use our cubic metre calculator above or calculate the volume manually using the following formula:

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Note: The above instructions apply if you are filling an area with sand. Your calculations will vary if you are using Washed Pit Sand for masonry or concreting applications.
