Leisure Silica Sand

Sports grounds, artificial sports surfaces and sports field dressings.

From play pits and long jump pits to golf courses and recreational surfaces our high grade Silica Sand is the perfect surface for sports grounds, artificial sports surfaces and sports field dressings.

Golf: Our off white moist sand is suitable for golf bunkers. Our sand varies in colour from an orangey brown to a light gold and can pass as a Mediterranean beach or an African desert.

Play Pit Sand: The company is able to supply a pale washed sand suitable for play pits that minimises staining associated with other sand types.

Beach Parties: Our AS Moist sand is suitable for this purpose and was used at a large pop concert on a beach in recent years. A large city complex has also used it for the same purpose.

Sand Sculpture: Again AS Moist suits this purpose and with a little moisture it produces good results.

Long Jump Pits: AS Moist is the most suitable sand for this surface. Our sand is currently used by several schools and international athletic venues in our area.

Sports Pitches: For conventional grassed pitches P205 is the most suitable for this purpose. It acts as a top dressing and improves drainage.

Sports Pitches: Synthetic P17D, is a dried sand suitable for use with synthetic surfaces and offers good drainage.

What is our silica sand used in?

L. B. Silica Sand has been used in many industries, including glassmaking and was used to make the glass in the Crystal Palace which was transported to Birmingham by the then recently opened Grand Union Canal.

Our silica has previously been used in spitfire windscreens and in another project our P30 sand was used as a growing medium for plant-life in exceptionally harsh conditions and taken to the moon. We also provide sharp sand, building sand and Top soil or special mix sand.
