Sandy Clay Loam Soil Class

This soil can have a similar ratio of silt and clay particles, yet more sand particles and might be more suited to light usage cricket squares as the soil should be able to be consolidated adequately for play, especially school level play, as well as for many tennis courts. An example of a sandy clay loam soil is one that contains the following: 52% sand, 20% silt, 28% clay. This soil will offer slow, but suitable drainage potential, also making it easier for end of season renovation works. This soil class can be well suited for many lawns of a general quality, although moss can be a problem during the autumn and winter due to moisture retention properties of the soil.
