Greens Grade is an inorganic soil amendment proven on thousands of greens across the country to resist compaction, eliminate localized dry spot, drain better and facilitate healthy root systems that leave turf less prone to disease and other maintenance problems. A kiln-fired porous ceramic from a unique mineral deposit in Mississippi, Greens Grade replaces peat in any sand-based root zone.

A Greens Grade particle is 74% pore space with 39% capillary (water) pores and 35% non-capillary (air) pores. Blended with sand, it increases the water and nutrient holding capabilities and the air and drainage pores–permanently improving most soils. The small-sized particle is ideal for sand-based construction and is available in two distinct colors–Natural for use in construction and topdressing, and Emerald to disguise worn areas and blend in with turf.

Greens Grade meets the specifications outlined in the USGA’s Recommendations for a Method of Putting Green Construction and has been tested at major universities across the country.
