TurfSand

Description

Dandy's TurfSand is drainage sand ideal for areas prone to water logging or with drainage issues. Please note this product does not contain topsoil or compost. 

Perfect for laying turf on, even when the ground is wet, as it helps to dry up moist ground.  It's finely screened consistency allows easy root growth and makes it easier to obtain perfect levels.

This product is not recommended to be used as a lawn dressing - for this we recommend our Kiln Dried Topdressing or our Lawn Dressing Sand. 

We can supply you with 3 sizes of bulk bag:

  • 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.

Due to the natural properties of this product we are unable to guarantee colour.  Images are for representation only.

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

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.

Great Mix

I used it to level the lawn and it was so easy to achieve a great level surface before sowing the seeds.

Horticutural sand and gravel

Bought a tonne bag each of sand and gravel. Both were good and clean with no lumps or rubbish. Just the job for improving drainage in our heavy clay soil!
Delivery was by a local haulier so he knew our house. He had a pallet trolley and we have a tarmac drive so he was able to drop the bags just where we wanted them. Staff were very helpful and cheerful when I needed to change the delivery date. Big bags are very good value so well pleased!

Good stuff

Did precisely as I wanted,........took the bumps out of the lawn. I use a cylinder mower , but wasn’t getting the best out of it. The lawn looks so much better now, just by allowing the mower to do it’s job properly. Took a long time to arrive due to pandemic issues, but worth the wait. Only slight downside was the debris in the sand, big stones & pieces of wood, but I guess that is where it was originally sourced from. Would use again.

Turf sand

Top product - ordered for a lawn renovation and was pretty much spot on. Very well draining and I also used some as a top dressing, the particles were small enough for this.
