Common soil challenges addressed by our formula.
Hard-pack clay repels water and restricts root development. Lawn Top Dressing improves soil permeability, allowing water to infiltrate and roots to penetrate. Use with lawn aeration for deeper penetration.
Sandy ground lets moisture and nutrients drain away. Biochar's microscopic pores and compost's organic matter capture and hold water in the root zone where plants can use it.
Lawns fail when soil can't support healthy root systems. Lawn Top Dressing rebuilds soil structure and biology, giving roots room to develop and access to the water, oxygen, and nutrients they need.
Chemical fertilizers wash away, requiring repeated applications and contributing to algae blooms. Lawn Top Dressing holds nutrients in place, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
Bulk compost requires dump trucks, manual distribution, and careful raking to avoid smothering grass. Lawn Top Dressing pellets apply quickly with a spreader and settle into the thatch layer naturally.
Untested compost may contain weed seeds, pathogens, or contaminants. Lawn Top Dressing uses only STA-certified compost that meets rigorous USCC standards for safety and quality.
Three simple steps to better soil.
Core aeration before application allows deeper penetration into compacted soils, especially clay.
Apply using a broadcast spreader. Distribute evenly across the lawn surface at 1 cu ft per 500 sq ft.
If overseeding, apply seed after pellets. Water thoroughly to begin pellet breakdown and incorporation into soil.
Initial Application
