can I put top soil over sand?

Question

Had an above ground pool taken down. Have 24′ round sand pile. Can I put topsoil over sand to lay down sod?

Answer 1

You should be able to work with that sand pile — in Florida we do it all the time. I would think you should think first about amending the sand with organics, as in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/amending-sandy-soil.htm
Another thing you can add is oil-dry clay granules from the auto parts store. After amending, then you can put the top soil down.
