Sandy Loam
The turf-layer’s soil, free-draining sandy loam that levels true and grows grass.
About this product
Sandy loam sits in the sweet spot between sand and soil: enough sand to drain and level cleanly, enough loam to hold moisture and nutrients for turf roots. It’s the standard underlay beneath instant turf and the general-purpose soil for levelling and light filling.
Screened for consistency, it spreads and rakes beautifully, crews can lay turf the same day. This is a volume product: turf contractors order it by the semi load for subdivisions and sports fields, priced per cubic metre delivered and staged to the laying program.
Pair it with our turf and sports sands for full profile builds, or with turf underlay soil where the spec wants more body under the roll.
