Overview

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. Bulk supply for sports fields, subdivisions and backyards alike.

Common questions

Why use sandy loam?
Its sand-dominant structure drains freely and resists compaction, which makes it ideal under turf and on sports surfaces where drainage and a firm root zone matter.
Can it be used for top dressing?
Yes, it is a common top dressing for lawns and sports fields, spread thin to level and free-drain the surface.
How is it delivered, and can I track it?
It is supplied loose by the cubic metre and delivered by tipper across Victoria, sized to your site access. Every load is GPS-tracked in NXT Control so you can see it from the yard to your gate.
