Sandy Clay

Sandy Clay combines the qualities of sand and clay, resulting in a material that compacts well while allowing for some drainage. It's easier to work with than pure clay and provides a stable base for construction projects like foundations, road bases, and leveling. Sandy Clay is not ideal for planting but can be used to improve soil structure when mixed with organic matter.
