  • Simply put, lawn top dressing spreads a thin layer of organic materials on top of your lawn. You can top dress either your whole lawn, or just a portion of it, or you can just focus on your lawn’s bare spots.

    Top dressing is the best way to revitalize your lawn. Think of lawn top dressing as giving your grass a healthy sprinkle of vitamins since the dressing materials have nutrient-rich material on them.

  • The best material for your lawn top dressing depends on your specific needs and soil type. Here are the common dressing materials that our professional landscapers at the Ground Guys have used in their services:

    • Sand: A little sand is complementary for lawns with heavy clay soil. Sand improves drainage by allowing water to flow through the soil more easily.
    • Compost: Compost is the nutrient-dense organic material among the options. This dressing material adds valuable nutrients to the lawn soil and improves soil structure.
    • Topsoil: Topsoil is an all-around abundant dressing material as it provides a nutrient boost to the lawn and also helps level uneven surfaces.

Signs Your Lawn Needs Top Dressing Service

You may not notice it, but your lawn will show indications that it will need a top dressing service. Here are four common signs that you need to look out for.

  • Patchy Growth: If there are areas where the grass struggles to grow, it can be a sign of compacted soil or nutrient deficiencies.
  • Uneven Surface: Bumps, elevation, and depressed areas within the lawn are clear indications of uneven surfaces.
  • Excessive Thatch: If you have an excessive thatch at the base of your grass blades, it’s an indication that organic matter is not decomposing properly in your lawn.
  • Compacted Soil: If your water pools on the surface of your lawn instead of soaking in, it’s a clear indication of compacted soil.
