About this file
This document is a soil testing report from A. McNitt & SerenSoil Testing for a sample of K-Sand submitted by Davisson Golf, Inc., dated January 28, 2023. The report provides a comprehensive particle size and physical properties analysis of the sand sample, which appears to be intended for use in golf course maintenance or construction, specifically as a topdressing material for a potential contract with the Township of Toms River in New Jersey.
The soil analysis demonstrates that the K-Sand sample meets most United States Golf Association (USGA) specifications, with 95.7% sand composition, angular to medium sphericity, and favorable physical properties. Key metrics include a bulk density of 1.44 g/cm³, total porosity of 45.5%, and hydraulic conductivity of 36.4 in/hr. The sample contains minimal gravel (0.0%), silt (3.0%), and clay (1.3%), with the majority of sand particles falling in the medium sand size range (0.5 - 0.25 mm) at 57.8%. The organic matter percentage is exceptionally low at 0.17%, which indicates a clean, pure sand product suitable for professional golf course maintenance.
