Top dressing is a crucial process in revitalising a tired, patchy, or bumpy lawn, or in achieving a high-quality lawn by applying a thin layer of nutrient-rich dressing to the surface. This method promotes the growth of fresh, healthy grass and creates optimal conditions for new grass seed to thrive.
The top dressing mix typically consists of sandy loam or high-quality, well-draining topsoil, combined with sand and well-rotted organic matter. You can either create this mixture yourself or purchase pre-made lawn dressing.
While top dressing can be labour-intensive due to the weight and bulkiness of the material, as well as the need for even distribution.
