Leveling Sand for Lawn
and Yard Repair

Smooth out bumpy, uneven lawns with ERTH Products' leveling sand for yard and 70 30 sand soil mix, the go-to solution for Georgia landscape contractors and homeowners.

About Leveling Sand

An uneven lawn is more than an aesthetic problem. Low spots collect and hold standing water after rain events, creating chronically wet conditions that promote disease pressure, root suffocation, and turf thinning. High spots dry out faster than surrounding turf and get scalped by mower blades, leaving exposed soil that invites weed pressure and bare patch development. Over time, an unlevel lawn becomes progressively more difficult to manage, and more expensive to maintain, regardless of how much fertilizer or irrigation is applied.The solution is leveling—and the material you choose determines whether that leveling actually improves the lawn or creates new problems.

What Our Customers Are Saying

From bioretention to structural support, our engineered mixes are tailored for performance and compliance.

At Heritage Landscape Services, Inc. – Gilbert, SC
Hagins Landscape Nursery, Inc. – Greenville, SC
“I have used ERTH Food® for six years as a soil amendment and as a mulch in annual color beds. With regular use, I have seen an overall improvement in the quality of the soil. Specifically, I have seen better water retention and a reduction in the occurrence of disease.

“ERTH Food® is a great substitute for mulch. It has a good color and texture and does not wash or blow away as do some other mulch products. Far less disease appears in our flowerbeds, which reduces our chemical use and produces more vibrant colors. ERTH Food® is a great product."

"At Heritage Landscape Services, Inc. – Gilbert, SC At Heritage Landscape, Inc., we have been using ERTH Food® for many years and are very pleased with it. It is a product that we can continue to use throughout the growing season to refresh the look of our beds without changing the beds’ appearance. It has a unique consistency in color and texture that continues the flow into other areas of the bed. ERTH Food® makes a perfect blend to the property, while it gives a fresh look without causing too much contrast. It never fails that, while we are planting our beds, a passer-by will stop to ask what we are mulching our beds with. They comment on how good it looks and ask for the name of a local place where they too can purchase ERTH Food®.
“We find, however, that ERTH Food® provides more than just aesthetics to our beds. It gives our beds a good barrier against weeds, and we’ve found that it also creates a moisture barrier that allows moisture to stay in the ground longer than any other mulch we have tried. At the end of a growing season, we will pull the old flowers and till the existing ERTH Food® into the soil; this provides an excellent source of organic matter that most of our beds need because of either the high clay or sand composite. The bags are an easy-to-handle size, which makes transportation to the beds easy. ERTH Food® is a great product for anyone wanting to achieve that extra-professional look for their beds, and it is ideal for flower bed enhancement."

"Riverbanks Zoo & Botanical Garden – Columbia, SC
“At Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden, we have been using ERTH Food® for a number of years. While many people use it as a soil conditioner, we use it as a mulch for our beds. We must get hundreds of questions about ERTH Food® every year; people are intrigued about the peanut shells.
“One thing that is important to me when purchasing mulch is to ensure that it is weed-free. We’ve never had a problem with weedy ERTH Food®. ERTH Food® is a unique and useful product, and, most of all, it looks great as a mulch.”"

Leveling sand is a fine-to-medium grade sand applied to low spots and uneven areas to create a smoother, more consistent surface.

Can I apply leveling sand for my yard without killing my existing grass?

Yes, when applied correctly. Apply sand leveling your lawn in thin lifts of 1/4 to 1/2 inch maximum and work it into the canopy so grass blades remain exposed. Avoid peak summer heat stress or winter dormancy. For Georgia warm-season grasses, apply in spring when turf is actively growing.
