Topdressing FAQs
What is lawn topdressing?
Topdressing is the process of applying a thin layer of quality soil mix (typically sand and compost) over your lawn to improve soil structure, level the surface, and provide nutrients.
When is the best time to topdress my lawn?
The ideal time is during active growth periods – early spring or early fall for cool-season grasses, late spring through summer for warm-season grasses.
How often should I topdress my lawn?
For maintenance, once a year is sufficient. For lawn renovation or leveling, you might need 2-3 applications in a season.
