Well, we won't recommend to install your turf on a sandy surface. The sands are just too loose to serve as a base for artificial grass. The turf installation requires solid yet smooth surfaces, sands won't provide that. If you install artificial turf over sand, and with some usage and traffic on it, the sand underneath will start moving which will cause noticeable lumps and dents on the grass surface: This is not only give the artificial grass a terrible looking, but also can cause concerns of tripping hazard.
Therefore, I wouldn't recommend installing artificial grass over the sand. If you can, you can remove the sand and then build up the base properly by following instructions on this link:

 | Riley Giard I would not recommend installing artificial turf in a sandy area too since it will only give you a wavy look. |
 | Colby Powskey I agree. Laying it on sand does not guarantee long lasting results and you won't maximise its benefits because the sand will soon get washed away by either rain, traffic, etc. If that happens, it'll be much harder for you to get it fixed. |
