Pit run sand, also known as bank-run sand, is excavated directly from natural deposits and left in its raw, unprocessed state. Because it is not screened or washed, it may contain a mix of sand, gravel, clay, and small rocks, with composition varying by source location. This blend of particle sizes allows it to compact reasonably well, making it a practical and cost-effective material for large-scale site work and early-stage construction.
Common applications for pit run sand
- Site preparation and rough grading
- Filling low areas and building up terrain
- Backfilling trenches and utility lines
- Sub-base for roads, driveways, and building pads
