Hi Seagul,

I found mine at a John Deere center. Turface if used for athletic fields and sometimes as a soil conditioner. Try lawn equipment / sprinkler distributors in your area.

Lesco is the company that owns Turface so try going to lesco.com and click on there "Store Locator" in the top right hand corner to find a local retail outlet. Lesco also owns John Deer so it can be found there as well but not all of them carries it so call around.

You can have Lesco ship it but at 50lb's a bag it's going to cost a fortune in shiping.

Ask you local garden center where ( not Home Depo) they getting their supplies - that's where I'm getting Turface (BWI in Apopka,Fl).

Thanks edwardn I've never tried special ordering it from a lawn-care company. What is there overhead charge on that?

I bought twice from BVI. At the end of last year they charged $14.33 for 50# Turface MVP. Since it is within a driving distance from my home, I have no idea what shipping would cost - you can either check with UPS, or call BVI at 407 884 0242
Better yet, check all growers supplies companies in your state at: http://www.beldenplastics.com/distribu1.htm

I've always bought it directly from Lesco since Kansas City has a major league baseball team SMS and Turface are always in stock.
I'll have to start asking my local lawn-care suppliers if they have any as well. There a bit closer that the Lesco warehouse.

Thanks again!

what about TURFACE game saver? seems the be the only one my local store has in stock?

They are different products. I was using Pro Choice Soil Master Select (Charcoal color) until the local Lesco quit carrying it. Then one of the local aquarium club members wanted to get rid of a bag of Turface. Unfortunately the color is not so great, but it is not the 'game saver', just the most similar to SMS.

If you want something very easy to get, you can get "OilDri" at Walmart in the car maintenance section. The grain size is not as fine and uniform as Turface Pro or SoilMaster Select, but honestly it's very similar in size to regular Flourite, and smaller than Flourite Dark.
