Part of the multinational Sibelco Group, Rufford offers an extensive range of golf course construction and maintenance materials including:
• Rootzones
• Top dressings
• Specialist bunker sands
• Sands (dried or moist)
• Divot mixes
• Screened soils
• Gravels.

Its products are extracted and processed at ten quarry sites across the UK. The company has access to high quality silica sands and employs rigorous quality control procedures at each and every stage of the extraction, manufacturing and distribution process. All of its UK sites have certification to ISO9001:2000 (quality), ISO14001:2004 (environment) and OHSAS18001:1999 (health and safety).

The Rufford range has evolved from the extensive research and development work of an in-house laboratory that’s part of the USGA Proficiency Testing Programme. Every day it uses a full range of tests, from saturated hydraulic conductivity checks to particle size distribution analysis. This is its way of ensuring that all of its products meet an exacting set of standards and deliver consistent results.

Rufford works with its sister-companies throughout the world, offering the same standards of quality and consistency in construction and maintenance materials.
