⚽ You see the grass. We see the growing media.

A sports field might look simple from above.

But underneath that surface, there’s a lot going on.

The growing media needs to support:

🌱 Strong root development
💧 Effective drainage
🏟️ Turf establishment
💪 A durable playing surface

That’s why sports field blends need to be designed for the job—not simply chosen because they look like soil.

When performance matters, start below the surface.

How much drainage gravel?

Send us your project specifications, and our team can work through the requirements to help determine what materials you need and how much you’ll need 🙌

Less guesswork.

Less back and forth.

More confidence when it comes time to order.

DON’T MIX AND MATCH

⚠️ A bio-basin isn’t a pile of materials thrown together.

Every layer has a purpose.

And getting the materials, grading and specifications right matters to how the system performs.

That’s where Substrate Soils comes in.

From **drainage gravel** through to **transition layer sand** and **bio-retention filter media**, we can help you source the materials required for your project.

Because what’s below the surface matters.

Three layers.

One project.

One supplier.

Your bio-basin doesn’t need three separate material searches.

Substrate Soils can supply the key layers required for your bio-retention system, helping simplify procurement and keep your project moving.

✔ Drainage gravel
✔ Transition layer sand
✔ Filter media

And if you need help working out what materials your project requires, we can help with that too.

Less chasing. More getting the job done. 🙌

A bio-basin is only as good as the layers working together.

That’s why Substrate Soils can provide complete bio-basin packages, including the materials required for the different layers of the system.

Drainage gravel.
Transition layer sand.
Bio-retention filter media.

One supplier. One coordinated package. Less time chasing materials.

Because when the layers work together, the system can perform as intended.

MYTH: Drainage gravel is just drainage gravel.

FACT: The grading of your drainage gravel can have a significant impact on how a system performs.

Different applications require different aggregate sizes to achieve the right balance of water movement, stability and long-term performance.

That’s why selecting the right product isn’t just about filling a specification—it’s about building a system that performs as intended.

At Substrate Soils, we can help you choose the right material for your project.

🚨 Hot take: Not all soil is the same.

In fact, some materials are engineered specifically to:

✔️ Filter stormwater

✔️ Improve drainage

✔️ Support healthy vegetation

✔️ Create high-performance sports surfaces

It might all look similar in a stockpile, but once it’s installed, the difference really shows.

A great sports field isn’t built from the top down—it starts from the ground up.

While healthy turf gets all the attention, it’s the growing media underneath that plays a vital role in drainage, root development and long-term performance.

Our Sports Field Turf Blends are engineered to support high-quality playing surfaces that can stand up to the demands of community sport.

Because when the foundation performs, the surface performs too.

Not even close.

“It’s just dirt...” 😅

We hear it more often than you’d think.

The reality? The materials beneath the surface can make or break the performance of a project.

Bio-retention filter media, transition layer sand, drainage gravel and sports field turf blends are all engineered for a specific purpose. Using the right material in the right place helps ensure drainage, filtration and long-term performance.

Because in our world... not all soil is created equal.

Have you ever heard someone call engineered media “just dirt”? 👇
