Top dressing is the application of organic or inorganic matter to the surface of your lawn. Your landscape is constantly changing because of the elements and personal use of your yard. As a result, you might have seen an increase in low areas that are causing you to scalp your lawn and cause you to trip when you walk.
Florida Landscapes
Many Florida landscapes are composed primarily of sand and lack organic matter that is needed for beneficial organisms, such as earthworms. Many of us are not fortunate to live in areas where plant matter breaks down and works its way into the soil.
As a result, top dressing with organic compost can address sandy soils that tend to lack organic matter. Research has shown that organic matter in the soil is vital to the health and longevity of lawns and shrubs. Summary of the benefits of topdressing:
- Evening out low spots in yard
- Adding organic matter to sandy soils to provide nutrients
- Improve water retention of sandy soils
- Provides an environment for beneficial organisms (e.g., Earthworms)
