From what I hve been told, sandy soil is not bad for the Zoyzia grass they use here in The Villages. Sandy soil allows the grass/soil to "leech'....meaning when you get heavy rains (3-5 inches in a rain storm is not uncommon) the water will not pool. Grass in the Villages will grow just fine without topsoil but it does need to be watered and fertilized
