6 Benefits of Top Dressing*
Topdressing helps with a lot of aspects of lawn care.
When done properly, it cuts down on your lawn’s fertilizer and general maintenance needs.
1. Improves soil aeration
Soil organisms break down the compost and cause little air pockets to open up. This aerates the soil so grass roots get more oxygen and water can penetrate the ground.
4. Helps seed germination
All of the benefits of topdressing make it a valuable player for seed germination, which is why it goes hand in hand with overseeding.
2. Improves soil quality
Topdressing adds a lot of nutrients to the soil, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It also improves the soil’s cation exchange capacity — its ability to hold nutrients and water. This gives you greener grass.
5. Levels lawn
Poor lawn grading can cause drainage issues that may lead to fungal disease and erosion. Topdressing smooths out uneven areas in the lawn.
3. Adds beneficial soil microbes
Compost carries beneficial soil microbes. Soil microbes break down organic material through the chemicals in their body. Part of that process fixes nitrogen, an essential step before plants can absorb the nutrient. They also help control diseases and regulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous levels.
6. Breaks down thatch
Thatch is an interwoven layer of dead and dying grass leaves, shoots, and roots that can (if too thick) inhibit air and water movement. The microbes in compost break down the thatch, allowing water to flow freely and bring nutrients to roots.
