Top Dressing Lawn Leveling

Top dressing a lawn involves applying a thin layer of compost over the grass. This process helps improve the soil quality, level the surface, and enhance grass growth.
The composition includes the application of compost, which adds organic matter and nutrients to improve soil fertility.

- Step one: Assess lawn and identify what needs to be improved.
- Step two: If needed remove any weeds, dead grass or thatch to make room for top dressing.
- Step three: If needed aerate and remove cores to relieve compaction and make room for top dressing.
- Step four: If needed seed
- Step five: Top Dress
