Turf sand & top dressing sand

If you want beautiful green grass that stays healthy for longer then you have to contact us!

The trick to growing healthy grass is to ensure that the roots are bedded in a medium that allows moisture and nutrients to constantly reach the roots, but not 'drown' them.

River Sands Turf Sand is ideal for this!

'With a sand particle size evenly distributed from 0.1mm to 0.6mm, our turf sand allows water to penetrate and gradually seep down from the surface to the roots below, at a controlled rate. The water is therefore optimised at the root level ensuring it doesn’t flow through too quickly without effect, or too ‘slowly’ to cause drowning of the roots (something that commonly occurs with so-called turf soils).

Importantly, River Sands Turf Sand meets the demanding USGA (United States Golf Association) Grading Standard for use on putting greens and you can be sure our sand is free of weeds and seeds so you don’t have to worry about ‘uninvited’ guests.

For greater growing performance it is wise to select from one of our organically enhanced turf sands. Made from a blend of organics, they give the turf an early and ongoing boost.

Also available in our range of sands is a proven, specialist bunker sand.

Playground soft fall sand

Sand is a wonderful medium for keeping children constructively occupied. It is also the perfect surface under swings and playsets!

River Sands Soft Fall Sand is specifically manufactured for use in playgrounds and has been independently certified to meet the Australian Standard for Playground Undersurfacing Material AS4422:1996 (to a height of three metres).

The unique sand consists of a range of sand particle sizes that allow it to ‘give’ upon impact - yet still retain all the great characteristics that make up a playful medium.

This 'give' factor or cushioning effect helps break the impact of a fall when children jump from swings or playsets and allows you to produce a playground environment that allows kids to be kids!

Our Soft Fall Sand is also:
- Easy to install and maintain
- Clean, safe and won't form hard crusts
- Fun, with no risk of splinters or sharp edges
- Vandal proof.

Construction, bedding and concrete sand

River Sands produces specialist sands, construction sand, medium sand, fine bedding sand and superfine sand for use within the construction industry.

These sands are used underneath concrete slabs, filling around piping or within a specialised concrete or render mix. We also manufacture a specialised sand with a high hydraulic conductivity rate (drainage rate) which is ideal for environmentally friendly 'filtration' zones in new developments.
