RISISANI Premium lawn sand 1000 kg | Quartz sand with grain size 0.5-1.5 mm

The more the lawn is used, the more the soil is compacted. This happens quite automatically over the years, but also when building a new house. Especially when the future garden is driven over again and again by heavy vehicles, the new homeowner is surprised that the desired result is not achieved when sowing. 

If you love and care for your lawn, you should treat it to a sanding treatment twice a year when you lay a new lawn and afterwards. The results after sanding the lawn are amazing:

• Compacted soil is loosened by sanding
• Heavy soils become more permeable
• No waterlogging, as the sand serves as drainage
• Fewer problems with moss
• Air gets into the ground better
• Unevenness is leveled and a smooth surface is created

By creating small air gaps between the round grains of sand, your soil gets significantly more air and water can be absorbed much better.

Now that you can no longer see the sand on the surface, you will soon see the first results, which you can also see on the plant. Very soon you will notice a lush, vibrant green of the plants and the roots can really "breathe" again. The lawn not only becomes more even because the sand levels out the hollows, but also thicker and stronger.

The ideal time to sand the lawn is during its main growing months, i.e. April, May, June, July, August and September. During this time, the lawn is strong enough to cope with both the preparation (scarifying and aerating if necessary) and the "growing through" of the sanded areas.

To improve the soil, the lawn sand can also be worked in with the Rasenrakel in smaller quantities in spring and / or fall (March or October).

Ideally, you should use round-grained, washed and low-lime quartz sand (e.g. Rhine sand) with a grain size of 0.5 to 2 mm for sanding the lawn.

If you already have sand at home and are not sure whether it is suitable for lawn sanding, imagine you are a child: try to build a nice little sandcastle with this sand.

Does it hold? Then the sand probably has too much clay and would only "glue" your soil together.

Is it not holding? If your structure trickles apart, things are looking pretty good for you and your lawn.

Only process the sand when it is dry. Anything else is too strenuous and will only make your muscles ache unnecessarily.

The quantity always depends on your personal circumstances and what measures you have already taken. The rule of thumb is 5 liters of sand per m² of lawn.

To get the best results from sanding the lawn and really help the soil, you shouldn't just sprinkle the sand on the lawn. That won't help, of course.

Ideally, you should proceed in the following steps:

• Mowing the lawn short
  To make it easier to work with the Rasenrakel , you should mow to a height of 3 cm. Is your lawn otherwise shorter? Great. So much the better.
  
• Scarify (or even aerate)
  If you are using a mulching mower and/or your turf is very matted, it is a good idea to scarify the lawn beforehand so that the sand gets to where it needs to go.
  If the soil is extremely compacted, it can also be aerated with the RISISANI hand aerator.
  
• Thoroughly remove thatch
  If necessary, use a rotary mower with a good suction effect again
  
• Spread sand coarsely over the lawn, ideally evenly with the RISISANI landscape rake
  
• Use the Rasenrakel process and smooth the sand on the surface
  

By now at the latest, your lawn will look so scary that tears will well up in your eyes and you will doubt your decision. But you'll see the results after just two weeks. From now on, the sand can also penetrate the soil and take effect there.

The Rasenrakel is the ideal companion for you and your garden. From the new construction of your house to the creation of new garden and lawn areas, from regular sanding to sand bunker maintenance.

The "foundation" is particularly important when laying a new lawn. If you don't prepare a really level surface here, your beloved green will be a hilly landscape for a long time. With Rasenrakel , you can create an absolutely level surface in no time at all.

It is of course also the ideal tool for regularly sanding your lawn. Thanks to its special design, it glides effortlessly over the grass and protects the plants.

It is also used extensively in civil engineering. Many gardening and landscaping companies tell us that they use the Rasenrakel to level driveways, gravel and grit. 

It has also found its way into many cities and municipalities, which use it to maintain their sports pitches and green spaces. And not just real turf pitches, but also artificial turf pitches in particular, which are of course also regularly sanded.

After you have finished with the lawn sand, the question quickly arises as to how long it will look "so awful". In short: it depends. 

On the one hand, of course, it depends on how much sand you have used and, on the other, on the conditions. On an already relatively level surface, you will very quickly no longer see the sand, as it will seep into the ground and the sand will compact the lawn again.

However, if you are dealing with larger bumps, you may still see them for a few days. If the hollows are not too deep, the grasses will work their way through again after a few days.

However, if the holes are too deep (more than 2 cm), it is advisable to reseed these areas with topsoil or special turf soil. As a rule, after 10-14 days there will be no more sand on the surface and the first results will not be long in coming.

Basically, it's a question of the area you want to work on:

The more maneuverable Rasenrakel L-80 is of course ideal for a 250 m² front garden. However, if you want to work on a larger area instead, you are better off with the Rasenrakel XL-120. On the soccer pitch or golf course, the Rasenrakel XXL-160 is of course in its preferred terrain.

But the level of your lawn is also crucial:

While you can use the Rasenrakel L-80 to remove the "rougher" unevenness, you can use the wider variants for fine tuning and get even the smallest unevenness flat thanks to the extremely wide contact surface. In our opinion, both large Rasenrakel are more suitable for professionals.
