Surrey Loam, with it s largely clay base has the capacity to bind excellently, produce first-class wickets and make effective repairs. This is without doubt our most popular Sports Loam and each season it is supplied to many customers throughout the country. 

A loam high in clay is essential for a Cricket square as a light soil would only absorb the force of the ball.  Clay Loams have fewer pore spaces therefore less air than light loams and as the clay particles themselves are much smaller they bind together very well.  The higher the clay content in the square the faster the surface will play.

Loams with very high clay percentages are required at professional venues, but it is important to remember that considerable demand is placed on such wickets which need to last for days of intense play and require considerable maintenance and upkeep.  A very fast wicket may not always be appropriate in some situations for instance schools where safety has an equal consideration.
