Which sand is suitable for lawn sanding?

You should choose a sand that has little or no small particles or clay (anymore). A quartz sand that has been washed and fire-dried several times is therefore ideal.

You can find these in different grain sizes and here, too, it depends on what exactly you want to achieve by sanding your lawn.

If you want to loosen your soil with the lawn sand, a grain size of 0.5 - 1.5 mm is ideal.
