About Top Dressing Sand

Product Description
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).
