Golf courses, sports fields and artificial turf use silica sand for drainage, permeability and durability — in bunkers and greens, for root aeration and top dressing, and as turf infill. Shiv Mines and Minerals supplies graded silica sand for these uses.
Why silica sand suits sports surfaces
Its natural grain shape and controlled particle size give the drainage, permeability and compaction that greens, bunkers and synthetic turf need for stability and healthy growth.
Where it is used
Sports and turf uses include:
- Golf bunkers and greens
- Top dressing and root aeration
- Sports field construction
- Artificial / synthetic turf infill
