Sussex Medium/Coarse Contract Sand (Y)

SUITABLE FOR:
• Top Dressing for Amenity Grass & Sports Pitch Surfaces
• Top Dressing for Formal/High Use Lawns
• Free-Draining & Compaction Resistant Subsoil
• Sports Pitch Drainage, e.g. Sand Banding
• Suitable Component for High-Permeability Rootzone Production

Sussex Medium/Coarse Contract Sand has a total sand content of 95%, followed by 5% Clay & Silt.  The very free-draining nature of this sand is confirmed by the predominance of medium sand (0.25-0.50mm) and lower proportions of coarse sand (0.50-1.0mm) and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of 673mm/hr.

This sand is also ideal for a wide range of landscape applications where a very free-draining subsoil is required, including the planting of larger root-balled trees in both soft and hard landscape situations, podium landscapes, SuDS Rain Gardens and SuDS Bio Retention Systems.

Sussex Medium/Coarse Contract Sand (Y) is fully tested and accredited by the UK’s leading Soil Science and Landscape Engineering Consultants, Tim O’Hare Associates
