About Top Dressing Sand
Top Dressing Sand products are made specifically for golf course greens. Top Dressing Sand is usually applied after greens are aerated. According to the USGA, top dressing after aeration promotes drainage, reduces thatch buildup, creates a smoother driving or putting surface, and encourages healthier grass growth.
Our top dressing sands are tested regularly to ensure compliance with USGA guidelines. You can request a copy of our USGA compliance tests via our contact form.

Kiln-Dried Greens Top Dressing Sand is the dried version of our Greens Top Dressing Sand. After the wash cycle, the sand is processed in our ALmix drying and bagging plant. The dried sand is stored in silos or Super Sacks.
Some golf courses exclusively use kiln-dried sand because it sinks into aeration holes more easily, and excess sand can be swept off the putting surface.
Kiln-Dried Greens Top Dressing Sand can be delivered via Super Sacks, which are loaded directly into topdresser machines via forklift. The bottom of the Super Sack is opened by untying the chute or by cutting it with a utility knife (usually attached to a pole for safety).
