Lawn Top Dressing

What This Service Involves

Topdressing spreads a thin layer of compost or soil blend across the lawn to smooth minor unevenness, improve soil structure, and feed beneficial microbes. In heavy Northwest soils it gradually builds a healthier root zone, improves drainage, and boosts the results of aeration and overseeding by protecting seed and adding organic matter. Over repeated seasons it transforms poor soil into a resilient foundation for turf.
