Silica Sand (Basic Infill)
$16.50
Washed Quartz Sand Infill for Everyday Lawns.
Reliable ballast. Proven performance.
Silica Classic employs triple-washed, kiln-dried quartz sand to lock turf in place, support blade posture, and promote rapid drainage—delivering cost-effective stability for most landscape projects.
Application:
To be used on top of Premium Grass Blades turf to help weigh down the turf and assist with keeping the turf blades standing tall and upright. Acts as a ballast for heat transfer from cold nights to hot days.
Recommended Use:
For general turf stabilization and performance, apply 1.5 to 3 lbs of Silica Classic per square foot, based on turf density, blade height, and intended foot traffic:
Low-traffic lawns / light use: 1.5-2 lbs per square foot ft
High-traffic or sports areas: 2.5-3 lbs per sq ft
Shorter or denser turf may require less infill, while taller blades benefit from deeper ballast to maintain upright posture.
Installer Tip:
For pet-friendly installations, top-dress Silica Classic with Zeo Odour
Silica on bottom for weight and turf stability, Zeo on top for targeted odor control.
