Industrial Sand even finds its way into sports and recreation. Silica sand used for golf course bunkers and greens as well as the construction of natural synthetic athletic fields. In golf and sports turf applications silica sand is the structural component of an inert, uncontaminated, growing media.

Silica sand is also used to repair greens and to facilitate everyday maintinance like root aeration and fertilization. The natural grain shape and controlled particle size distribution of silica provides the required permeability and compaction properties for drainage, healthy plant growth and stability.
