Does anyone know where to buy horticultural grit by the ton? I live in Surrey, UK.

Horticultural grit is normally a sharp granite type stone. They use this type of stone because it will not affect the ph of your ground or compost which could kill off some plants. So, any aggregate supplier that has 3 - 6mm sharp granite type stone will do you. Look in Yellow Pages or on the net there are hundreds. Make sure you tell them NO LIMESTONE.
Hope this is of help to you.

Minimum quality soil depth for a care-free lawn is 4 inches. For deeper root penetration 6 inches. Deep roots will make the lawn more drought resistant, a more efficient water and nutrient user and more dense as new grass plant shoots emerge. Till the clay soil to at least a depth of 2 inches, then add topsoil to build up to 4 or 6 inches. This will alleviate subsoil compaction and permit a bonding of the topsoil to the subsoil (clay) and improve root penetration and water movement. The topsoil should be a loamy sand, sandy loam, clay loam, loam, silt loam, sandy clay loam or other soil suitable for the area. To the extent possible, practical, affordable and available, incorporate humus (fully decomposed organic matter) into the topsoil. With this degree of soil preparation, the lawn will be beautiful and require less maintenance.
