Topdressing


 

 

Topdressing/Overseeding of Lawns:
Topdressing and overseeding is a process often applied in conjunction with aeration and seeding. Topdressing adds organic amendments and nutrients which improve the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the soil. The results are turf quality and less resistance to stress.

  • Increases organic matter content of soil
  • Improves soil percolation rate
