Topdressing is beneficial in improving your lawn’s overall health and appearance. It provides benefits such as evening out the surface of your lawn, filling in low spots, bumps or divots which can also be considered a hazard. It also improves soil structure which aids in lawn growth, aeration and drainage, and helps roots access nutrients and water more effectively.
Enhanced microbial activity, which play a beneficial role in breaking down organic matter and making nutrients available to the lawn results in improved soil and lawn health.
Topdressing also reduces the amount of thatch present in the lawn (thatch can prevent water and nutrients from getting through), improves seed to soil contact which leads to successful seed germination and new lawn establishment, as well as aids in stronger root development.
Topdressing your lawn is a great way to improve aesthetics – you will have a greener, denser, and more attractive lawn which contributes to the overall curb appeal of your property.
