Sand in Kelowna Makes the Grass Greener.

When you think of good-quality grass, the first thing that comes to mind is usually a golf course. Many golf courses use sand on the surface of the grass to “top-dress”. This prevents a build-up of dead grass and roots. Thus, giving it a lush and healthy appearance. 

Using sand on your lawn can be beneficial if it is applied correctly. In some cases, applying sand to your grass can do more harm than good. However, if you follow the proper steps required you’ll have a great lawn in no time. It is important to first research the right type of grass for your climate. In the Okanagan, we tend to experience very hot summers which means you’ll want a very drought-tolerant variety of grass. Interior Bluegrass is among one of the best for the Okanagan region. 

When you go to apply the sand to your lawn it should ideally be dry. You’ll want to make sure that you use sterilized sand if you can. You should also avoid placing more than a 1cm thick layer of sand over the grass. We also recommend that you don’t cut your grass for at least a few days after top dressing. Be sure to stay off the grass for a while and keep heavy objects off of the area. For help with placing sand onto your lawn watch this video!
