'Rootzone' is a sand and soil mix (approx 70% sand and 30% topsoil) that is used when laying roll-out grass sods. If you are putting down a  roll-out grass lawn, a thin layer of this sand and soil mix enables quick establishment, improved drainage and strong root development. Made from a blend of sand and screened soil, it has the nutritional elements of soil with the drainage benefits of sand. Rootzone mix is used when establishing sports pitches or any grass surface where durability is required. Apply thinly, at a rate of approx 1 ton per 35-40 square metres. Spread over cultivated soil to fill imperfections and provide a firm base. Do not apply in wet weather, as this blend will become sticky when wet.

Grass laid over rootzone should be fed with a nitrogen-based fertiliser after approx 30 days while the roots establish. If you want to top-dress an existing lawn you should use our 100% washed 'top-dressing' sand.
