Loksand binds loose soils to create structure, improve drainage and reduce erosion across sports fields, landscaping, turf and infrastructure projects.
Loksand is a unique, crimped polypropylene fiber. When blended with sands and soils that have no structure, it acts to bind the loose particles together to give structure within the soil profile.
This provides the opportunity to design, build and mold loose sands into near vertical walls, in a variety of shapes and slopes that will not erode or collapse. Areas that are usually subject to erosion can resist the damage created by water runoff, reducing repairs and ongoing maintenance.
Loksand is predominantly used as an effective bunker construction solution. It provides a natural option to effectively “seal” a bunker and creates the perfect edge.
Loksand brings soil particles together which creates tensile strength within the soil profile to reduce shearing on steep slopes as well as resilience to tearing, compaction and wear caused by vehicle and foot traffic.
The fibers provide pathways for water to pass through the soil profile, increasing drainage of free water while maintaining pore space and oxygen within the soil.
In addition, the fibers create an instant biomass that provides a perfect environment for increased root growth and roots attach to the fibers, thereby further increasing stability.
Redefines and expands the scope of what is possible to design and create.
Binds and stabilizes soils, providing structure and firmness without causing compaction.
Loksand resists the ability of sands and soils to shear vertically and move horizontally.
Loksand provides an environment rich in oxygen for roots to grow deeper and more dense, thereby strengthening the soil profile.
Ability of LOKSAND to create uniform surfaces that ensure player safety.
Facilitates free drainage of water through the soil profile reducing development of anaerobic soil problems.
Long lasting, consistent performance with permanent results for all suitable applications.
LOKSAND resists heavy rainfall effects by minimizing soil saturation and erosion.
Incorporating LOKSAND into the soil profile improves the quality of playing and amenity surfaces. Costs are reduced by protecting and improving the investment in playing surfices.
Loksand fibers act as a ready-made root system, encouraging new roots to establish quicker and more densely within a more suitable growing profile.
Turf roots wrap around the crimped fiber, improving resistance to traffic, compaction and tearing. When natural grass roots are stressed, the Loksand structure continues to hold the soil together.
Stronger bunker edges that last longer, reduce maintenance and allow for more dramatic and creative design outcomes.
Loksands’ wide-ranging features provide solutions across landscaping, golf courses, sports fields and large engineering projects.
It can be used to stabilise bunker edges, steep slopes and high-wear areas, as well as support the stabilisation of roadway and lake banks. These solutions are cost-effective, long-lasting, and provide a new approach to many ongoing soil and turf challenges.

“We have received 15” of rain in 2 days … the place is a disaster: washouts everywhere, sinkholes, mud … total mess.
To a man, everyone on the team has commented how well Loksand outperformed expectations and are fighting over the remaining pile of material to use to make repairs.” – Impact of Hurricaine Isaias
“I’ve been searching for a way to achieve strong, consistent bunker edges, especially on exposed sites like The Coast. LOKSAND has exceeded my expectations—providing the stability needed for sharp edges beyond the usual angle of repose, while standing up to play remarkably well. It’s delivered exactly as promised, giving me complete confidence in its use.” – James Wilcher
“In 2019, during the construction of Singapore Island Country Club, we faced severe rainstorms, monsoons, and later Covid-related delays, making it difficult to build the bunkers. Danny suggested LOKSAND, which we incorporated into all at-risk areas, providing immediate protection from intense tropical rainfall. This decision kept us on schedule and on budget, and I didn’t have to compromise my design.”
“We also had LOKSAND put down with great result and losing significantly less balls. [LOKSAND] is working well here at Golf Central and support and communication throughout the whole process was fantastic.”
