Sandy Loam Lawn Prep
$36.00 / ton
A screened sandy loam blend, roughly two thirds sand with silt, clay and light organics. It rakes and drags smooth, holds a grade and lets new roots run, which makes it the standard choice under Bermuda, Zoysia and St. Augustine sod or for leveling an existing lawn.
