We use the DELFINO Walk Behind Sand Cleaning Machine, a versatile and compact sand sieving system. The machine’s unique pick-up drum feeds sand through precision separation screens, efficiently filtering out debris while aerating and decompacting the surface.

Designed for tight spaces and large areas alike, the DELFINO is ideal for:

✅ Children’s play areas
✅ Private beaches & river foreshores
✅ Beach access pathways
✅ Golf bunkers & sports sandpits

While raking helps with aeration and decompaction, it does not effectively remove debris, contaminants, or hazardous objects. Our machines use specialized sieve screens, including a 3mm x 3mm screed, which can capture even small shards of glass—ensuring a deeper, safer clean.

By contrast, a standard nail rake has gaps of approximately 65mm x 30mm, meaning many contaminants pass through without being removed.

We use multiple sieve sizes, adjusting based on:

✔ The type of cleaning required
✔ The amount of debris present
✔ The frequency of previous maintenance

This ensures the most effective and thorough clean for every situation.

Our sand cleaning machine effectively sifts through large areas, removing:

🛑 Sharp Objects – Syringes, broken glass, metal scraps
🗑 Litter & Rubbish – Plastic, cans, straws, cigarette butts
🐾 Organic Waste – Animal droppings, decomposing leaves
🏖 Natural Debris – Stones, shells, weeds, grass roots

The efficiency of removal depends on the grate size used for the clean.

Our sand cleaning process removes unwanted grass, but we highly recommend applying a weed treatment two weeks before cleaning for best results.

💡 Did you know? We are licensed AC/DC Weeds Applicators and can arrange routine spraying of play areas before cleaning!

On average, we clean to a depth of 100-150mm. However, in high-impact areas (such as under swings or near equipment with fall heights over 1m), we focus on deeper decompaction to maintain safety compliance.

The recommended cleaning frequency depends on factors such as:

📌 Amount of debris & litter in the play area
📌 How quickly the surface deteriorates
📌 Public access & usage levels
📌 Presence of contaminants like glass, syringes, or animal waste

Regular cleaning helps maintain safe and hygienic conditions for all users.

We specialize in cleaning a wide range of sand-based environments, including:

🏞 Public & private playgrounds
🏖 Beaches & river foreshores
🏐 Beach volleyball courts
🏇 Horse arenas & equestrian sand tracks

If you have a specific sand area in need of cleaning, just ask—we can tailor our services to fit your needs!

We offer customized cleaning solutions based on:

✔ Current condition of the sand/playground
✔ Depth of cleaning required
✔ Presence of litter, contaminants, or grass
✔ Leveling needs

Our goal is to restore the safety and cleanliness of your sand area while meeting your specific requirements.
