Overseeding and Top Dressing

A lush, densely-grassed lawn is more resilient against weeds, so if your lawn is starting to appear sparse, it might be time to consider overseeding.

We recommend overseeding your lawn at least once every three years. This process replaces old, dying grass with new, healthy plants, helping to maintain a thick lawn that can resist weeds and moss, fill in bare spots, and enhance the overall appearance of your lawn. Overseeding is most effective when combined with top dressing. After overseeding, top dressing will protect the newly sown seeds and provide them with the best chance to germinate.

A quality top dressing service can be crucial for making long-term improvements to the health and aesthetics of your lawn.

The soil in your garden plays a significant role in the development of your lawn. Thin, sandy soils and heavy clay soils are not ideal for grass growth, but a good top dressing can modify the characteristics of your topsoil and greatly enhance the growing conditions. The right blend of top dressing will complement and gradually improve the properties of your existing soil.

The advantages of applying top dressing or utilizing a top dressing service include:

- Increased soil aeration

- Improved surface drainage

- Protection for newly seeded areas of your lawn

- Control and reduction of thatch buildup

- Encouragement of deeper rooting

- Stimulation of grass growth
