Medium Washed Sand (R)

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

Our Medium Washed Sand (R) has a total sand content of 99%, followed by 1% Silt.  The free-draining nature of this sand is confirmed by the predominance of medium sand (0.25-0.50mm) and a lower proportion of coarse sand (0.50-1.0mm) along with the saturated hydraulic conductivity of 1028mm/hr.

The characteristics of this sand, subject to your requirements, makes our Medium Washed Sand (R) a good choice for your top dressing requirements for sports pitches and formal/high use lawns.

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.

Medium Washed Sand (R) is fully tested and accredited by the UK’s leading Soil Science and Landscape Engineering Consultants, Tim O’Hare Associates
