ARENA SAND:
Many of our customers like a very coarse screened sand for use in
and around horses and horse arenas. Our arena sand is the
coarsest of our three sands with more granolithic sized particles,
commonly called small pebbles of a pea gravel size. It is similar to screened
sand, only coarser.
SCREENED SAND:
Our screened sand is generally considered fairly coarse sand by
industry standards. It is a coarser product than washed sand. It
is produced through a dry screening process and thus has a few
more clays and fines as measured on the #100 and #200 screens than
does our washed sand. This is an attractively priced utility sand
that meets many of the sand specifications. common throughout the industry.
WASHED SAND:
This is our finest particle sand product, although because it is
washed it is free of most clay fines. 100% of this product
will pass the 1/4” screen, and generally has less than
10% fines as measured on the #100 and #200 screens. This product
is great when you need a very clean and consistent washed sand
product.
GOLF COURSE SAND: Golf
Course Sand also referred to as Tan Bunker Sand (TBS) is another silica-type sand similar to Landscape Sand,
but slightly finer and more yellow in color. It is sometimes used
in the bunkers of golf course sand traps, hence its name.
When it comes to hues and shades, the exact color of any product
is often in the eye of the beholder, so please examine the Golf
Course Sand to make sure it is the color that you expect. Tan
Bunker Sand (TBS) is produced from s silica sand
deposit located near Ravensdale, Washington. The sand, mined from an
ancient fresh water deposit, is scrubbed and thoroughly washed
with fresh water to remove silt and clay. Recent further
improvements in processing have been implemented. New equipment
has been added and has improved quality control to enhance the
quality and consistency of TBS. Quality control includes a twice
daily sampling for sizing and the periodic submission of samples
for testing by recognized golf course consultants. No chemicals
are used in the processing of this sand, and the density is
approximately 1 ton per cubic yard. TBS is a clean, naturally
sub-angular sand that goes direct from the mine to the customer.
It is specially sized to comply with the bunker sand
recommendations of the USGA. Golf courses that have TBS are very
pleased with their investment in this quality bunker sand.

SAND: This screened sand is a blend of two different sand
sources. It’s very fine size means it can be easily pumped,
leading it to be used in pressure grouting or slabjacking
situations.
GRAY CLAY: Gray Clay is not really
sand, but it does contain about 20-30% sand sized particles. The
difference between very fine sand and clay is explained in our
information sheet: Gray Clay.
