Frequently asked questions
What is USGA spec sand?
Sand screened to the United States Golf Association particle-size specification for golf greens construction and top dressing. It drains at a predictable rate and resists compaction, which is why greens builders specify it.

Yes. Send the written spec through and we will match it or tell you straight if we cannot. Custom blends are mixed to your ratio or engineering specification, with quality control test results for our speciality sands available on request.
How much sand do I need for top dressing?
Allow roughly 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre for washed sands. For top dressing, one tonne covers about 65 square metres at 10 mm depth.
Who typically orders speciality sands?
Golf clubs and course superintendents, racecourses and equestrian facilities, councils and schools building sports fields, turf farms, and civil or landscape contractors working to an engineered specification.
