and overall health of your soil and turf.
Topdressing the lawn is the process of adding a fine layer of a mixture of materials to
the lawn surface. Topdressing benefits the lawn as it builds up the quality of the soil
over time. Topdressing also stimulates the grass to produce new shoots and results in
denser turf which helps to combat the onset of weed infestations.
Before topdressing heavily compacted soils a core aeration may be suggested. Thin
turf will greatly benefit from overseeding and is complimented with topdressing that
will help provide optimal growing conditions. Topdressing can be done in either the
Spring or the Fall with best results typically in the Fall.
Topdressing mixtures usually contain loam, sand and peat. The ratio of these
ingredients will depend on the condition of the soil. Typically, sandy soils will benefit
from topdressing by increasing their ability to retain moisture and consequently
become more resistant to drought. Clay soils will be better able to distribute moisture
and thus improve root development.
