Stabilised Sand is a controlled blend of sand, cement, and water designed to create a firm, semi-bound material that sits between loose sand and full concrete.
Turf Sand
Granular Loam Sand With High Clay Content And Spec For Sports Fields And School Ovals. Turf Sand is a granular loam sand blend with elevated clay content, formulated specifically for the construction, renovation, and topdressing of sports fields, school ovals, and high-wear turf areas. Unlike clean construction sand, Turf Sand has a soil-like, cohesive structure, combining fine to medium sand grains with loam and clay particles.
Additional Information
Additional information
This blend provides an ideal balance between drainage, moisture retention, and stability. The clay and loam fraction binds the sand grains together, helping the profile resist displacement under foot traffic and play, while still allowing roots to penetrate and water to move through. The colour is typically a natural light-to-medium brown with earthy tones, reflecting its loam and clay content rather than a pale washed sand.
Key characteristics:
- Granular sand blended with loam and high clay content
- Cohesive, slightly crumbly soil-like texture
- Designed for sports turf performance and durability
- Supports root development, moisture retention, and surface stability
Usage
Turf Sand is widely used by groundskeepers, turf managers, councils, and schools for natural turf surfaces where both playability and durability are essential:
Sports Fields and Ovals
- Used during field construction and reconstruction as part of the rootzone layer.
- Provides a stable, forgiving playing surface with good footing and resilience under high traffic.
Topdressing
- Ideal for topdressing sports fields, school ovals, and premium turf areas.
- Helps level minor imperfections, improve surface consistency, and enhance the soil profile over time.
- Assists with thatch dilution and supports healthy turf recovery after wear.
Turf Establishment and Renovation
- Can be used in turf underlay mixes for new turf installation.
- Suitable for overseeding and renovation programs, improving the growing medium for new grass plants.
High-Wear Turf Zones
- Used to strengthen and stabilise goal mouths, centre circles, wings, and high-traffic walk-off areas.
- The clay component helps resist displacement, while the sand fraction supports drainage and root growth.
Application Tips:
- When topdressing, apply in thin, even layers and drag or broom into the turf canopy to avoid smothering the grass.
- Use in conjunction with a balanced turf nutrition and irrigation program for best results.
- Always consult turf agronomy or engineering specifications for elite sports facilities to ensure the profile meets required standards.
