Professional sandpit sand top-up - fresh play-grade sand delivered and filled to proper digging depth. Ready for castle building.
### Sand Levels Drop
Sand gets kicked out, tracked away, or just compacts. **A proper depth is needed for good digging** - children lose interest in shallow pits.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Use play-grade sand only. Builder's sand can contain sharp particles and contaminants. The price difference is tiny for the quantities a sandpit needs.
