Topdressing Kiln Dried Sand and Soil Mix for lawns

Description

Our Topdressing is a 70/30% blend of screened kiln dried silica sand and black topsoil, screened down to about 2mm.

Top dressing is for existing lawn improvement - so for re-seeding bare patches and for feeding. Brush over your grass at a depth of 1-2mm ready for re-seeding and feeding.

We can supply you with 3 sizes of bulk bag (see image):

  • Jumbo Bulk Bag which contains approx 1000kg (one tonne)
  • Standard Bulk Bag contains about 750kg (same as most builders merchants)
  • Midi Bulk Bag contains approx 500kg

Small Handy Bags are 25kg and the perfect option if you want a small quantity or if you have access issues and will need to carry through your house or over any walls etc.

Alternative product:  If you don't require Kiln Dried sand for your lawn then check out our Lawn Dressing - a cheaper alternative to topdressing sand.

Economy Delivery is currently between 3 - 4 working days. You can also select a delivery date that suits you after this.

Express/Next Working Day may be available depending on your location; please select an option at the checkout (this will vary during Christmas and over bank Holidays).

We use a variety of delivery vehicles and haulage firms to complete our deliveries.

If you live in or near Chester, we'll deliver to you ourselves with a HGV crane, if you live elsewhere in the UK we'll use a pallet network who will use a manually operated pallet truck to move the pallet of bag(s) to the kerbside, onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac (not gravel or grass sorry).

Bulk Bag and Pallet shipping is free to Cheshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, parts of Manchester, parts of Merseyside and Liverpool - outside of this area prices start at £11.95. Parcels, samples and individual small small bags are shipped with Royal Mail and therefore are not free delivery.

Quantity Calculations

Topsoil and Sand

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required

Bark, Mulch and Compost

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth

Garden Lawn Turf

Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed.  We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.

Natural Stone Paving

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need.  Our packs are 15.25m2.

Gravel and Slate

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth

Crusherrun

Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)

Conversion:

1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag

1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag

Samples

Order Samples here.

Samples are sent with Royal Mail 2nd class service so please allow 3 to 5 working days (please allow extra during Royal Mail Strikes).

Samples are chosen at random and naturally occurring products may vary slightly in shade and particle size, from load to load.

This is a small amount of product that will fit in your hand, approx 100gms per sample.

Product Disclaimer

Weeds

We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!

Gravel/Stone Size & Colour

Images are for representation only.  All products that Dandy’s supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary.  Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.

Waiting for germination

2 separate orders of kiln dried top dressing.

Unfortunately my first delivery was delayed by 3 days as thee delivery lorry crane was faulty. This set me back on my top dressing and reseeding project. The second delivery was as scheduled but could not oblige me with an earlier date to compensate for the first delivery delay. Both deliveries were efficient and placed as requested.

Used to overseed patchy lawn
Easily spread (evenly as it was dry)
Hopefully this will get out grass back to normal by next Spring

Perfect to restore a lawn

This product is perfect to rejuvenate a tired lawn, after the long hot summer we've had.
I scarified, reseeded and then top dressed my lawn with this product. It spread perfectly and the lawn has already started to improve within a couple of weeks.
The only slight downside is that perhaps the mix is slightly off, as my delivery appeared to have a little more sand than it did soil.
Overall, the delivery went smoothly, on time, and the price was competitive too.

topdressing and soil mix

this was delivered on time and no problems i must mention 1 thing this is a expensive product [not just from dandys] i bought a midi bulk bag and paid extra £10 for waterproof bag it was on front drive for appox 10 days whilst i got it round back as needed
it rained for maybe half those days and stayed dry the whole time
point being pay the £10 extra it is well worth it i bought loam before hand without waterproof bag and it ended up soggy and much harder to use

Still waiting for a bit of dry weather so I can use the product! However, I can say that the service from Dandy’s was excellent. Prompt delivery, good communication, and extremely helpful delivery driver (Ben) who was able to drop the jumbo bag exactly where I needed it over a high hedge. Can’t fault the service.

Lawn Top Dressing

Delivery (via Palletways) was excellent - on time and delivered with care.
The bag with top section to keep it all dry was excellent
The dressing itself seemed to go on the ground well and seed has started to grow so the job looks good

Great quality, perfect for enhancing lawn quality

We have clay-heavy soil that suffers poor drainage. This top dressing mix was perfect for helping to level out and overseed our lawn. The sandier texture will be perfect for increasing the drainage of our lawn over time.

Excellent product and customer service

Good product arriving when I requested. I need to flatten and make a covering for seeding for bare patches. So far new grass has come through - some bare patches remain but I think that’s due to my amateur and rather poor gardening skills! Will definitely be ordering from dandy in the future ☺️
