Turface is a porous ceramic soil conditioner which lends itself to many uses. Resembling crushed terra cotta, its unique ability to absorb moisture and prevent compaction puts it in a league of its own.

Turface has been the #1 choice for Major League Baseball and all lower levels of play by groundskeepers for 30 years because of its unequaled ability to soak up its own weight in rainwater, thereby preventing many rain-outs. Its texture and size help reduce player injuries, while the uniform color makes the baseball more visible.

In new lawn construction, especially in soils with high clay content, Turface can be tilled in before seeding to combat compaction. With more room for air in the soil, the plants can breathe. The tiny passageways that Turface provides greatly improve water drainage.

It is also used extensively to backfill aeration holes, further reducing compaction and increasing drainage. Turface is also popular in gardens and anywhere else the soil needs to be amended for increased drainage and less compaction.

Turface also works very well in nursery plantings when mixed with soil 25-50% as it retains moisture for a very long time. See the difference Turface makes from research at Purdue University here.

Similar calcined clay products can’t live up to Turface’s unique manufacturing process, which provides stable, uniform particles with consistent color and little dust.

Available in 50 lb. bags.

Turface Quick Dry
Turface Quick Dry is a very fine grade soil conditioner used to rapidly soak up water. This product is the size of fine sand. After a rain, Turface Quick Dry makes muddy, slippery conditions a thing of the past. Works best when simply poured into a puddle and then raked back to grade. Quick Dry can be used over and over again.
