What is River Sand good for?

River Sand is used in concrete, horse arenas, golf courses, french drains, topdressing, sport field construction, and as a soil amendment.  River Sand is a great soil amendment for gardening and landscaping as it helps relieve clay soils from becoming compacted, and improves water and air infiltration.  It can be mixed in with the soil or used alone like in a sand-based sport field or french drain.  Topdressing a lawn or grass is actually a process in which River Sand levels and amends the turf.  Horse arenas use River Sand as a well-draining footing as it provides the horse with cushion and traction at the same time.  Pre-cast, ready mix, and other concrete projects can use River Sand for an aggregate and it helps concrete pump and finish better.
