USGA silica sand
With a reputation for high-quality and affordable rates our rigorous production methods ensure we deliver consistent products that exceed expectations time and time again. Our silica sand goes through a complex process after mining including screening and washing, followed by our strict hydro-sizing to create precision USGA specification sand, required for construction or maintenance.
bunker sand
We aim for top overall playing ability. Selecting Bunker Sand for your course is different than topdressing sand or construction materials. Unlike the scientific research and testing methods that have been developed to qualify materials for topdressing and construction, bunker sand evaluation is much more subjective. In fact what may be good bunker sand for any type of player may be unfavourable for the next.
It is important to choose a consistent sand source, know the infiltration rate will not impede drainage; the gradation of the sand will not impact the root zone performance of a green when it is "splashed" on to the surface, and that the sand characteristics for playability are in line with your typical clientele. We feel test bunkers and evaluation of bunker sands in the real world are the best way for our customers to choose the right sand. We encourage people to evaluate our bunker sands in these types of "real world" situations. When you see how a sand performs for your course and players you will then be able to make the best selection.
alternate spec silica sand
Alternatives to the USGA Specification have become a popular topic of conversation. USGA Silica Sand has become the norm for turf maintenance despite its wide particle spread and radically escalating cost. There are a number of alternatives that turf superintendent's should consider given their different climates, grass selection and budgets.
As the benefits of using an Alternate spec become ever more positive many have embarked on finding alternatives that yield similar or tailored performance at a fraction of the cost and this has lead to the production of Alternative Spec's of Silica Sand. The input and on-going production costs to produce these alternate Specs (such as the popular California Spec) are lower allowing the market to experiment and trial different options that best suit their climate and turf selection. Our consulting team are always on the road working with local suppliers in an effort to provide each province with their own supply.
