Top Dressing
Sand-based top dressing can improve the soils drainage and help firm up the surface, top dressing is regarded as an occasional task if necessary.
Top dressing is the process of renovating a tired, patchy, or bumpy lawn or achieving a high-quality lawn by adding a thin layer of bulky dressing to the surface, helping to amend physical soil properties, creating a better growing environment for the turf,
This encourages fresh, healthy grass growth and provides ideal growing conditions for new grass seed to grow.
Lawn top dressing mix is made up of sand and good quality free-draining topsoil, along with sand and well-rotted organic matter.
Either make this up yourself or buy lawn dressing ready to use.
For top dressing we use the Eco-Lawn 250 top dresser this is designed and manufactured by landscape professionals to make topdressing easy and accessible, all while improving the quality of the turf.
Your lawn will need less water because the top dressing retains soil moisture.
We recommend top dressing to be carried out from late Spring onwards after your Spring treatment it help it to encourage growth.
