Loamy Sand Soil Class

A soil with a range of different particles - sand, silt and clay - but which is more on the rough to gritty side, rather than having an excess of fine particles. An example of a loamy sand soil is one that contains the following: 77% sand, 13% silt, 10% clay. It is generally suitable for lawns and some sports turf situations, although it might be too free draining in drought prone areas that have limited access to irrigation facilities.
