A good year or more ago I asked for recommendations on someone who could deliver a small load of lawn sand to Moonbranch in Blue Creek using a small truck. i seem to think that Old Diver or Lifer maybe responded, but regardless, I would appreciate hearing from anyone. For some reason the name Steve Hayes seems to ring a bell but that might just be a shot in the dark.

Word of caution— it seems folks don’t know the diff between lawn sand and white sand. A few years ago I ordered lawn sand from Steve and received white sand. 2 months ago, I asked about lawn sand at Lakesrtin Bldg Supply and they actually asked me what that was. FYI!

What is lawn sand? Is it something that is added to the dirt for more aeration?

Is white sand ok if you are just trying to level out a few very "small uneven" places in an emerald zoysia lawn?

That really depends on the soil/ sand mix you groomed brfore you laid the sod. If there is little sand, its probably noy a good idea - the drsinage properties will be very different. I have about 9,000 sq ft of Emersld Z and generally patch with a mix similar to what is below all the turf.

Also is more coarse so as you say, it helps to keep the soil loose and aerated. I wish I had about 150-200 yards of the stuff on my property here in "Fungummery". We have what they call "prairie soil" which dries to the consistency of a brick, with huge cracks in the soil when it is dry, but after it gets wet it is the consistncy of axle grease and about as slippery.
