Crushed Sand

Technical term from the TOP GREEN Artificial Grass Glossary – clearly explained based on over 25 years of experience.

Briefly explained

Crushed sand is fine, angular crushed stone. In artificial turf installations, it serves as a level, easily compactable leveling layer above the gravel base.

Crushed sand is produced by crushing natural stone. Unlike round natural sand, it has angular grains that interlock when compacted. Typical grain sizes are 0/2 or 0/5 mm.

Use with Artificial Turf

On top of the compacted gravel base layer comes a leveling layer of crushed sand or chippings, about 2–3 cm thick. It is precisely screeded with a straightedge and then compacted with a plate compactor. This creates the level surface on which the artificial turf will later be laid.
