TOP DRESSING SAND

Consistent top dressing with a fine layer of lawn sand offers substantial advantages for maintaining a healthy and attractive turf. This simple practice helps to level the playing field, filling in minor depressions and unevenness caused by various factors like pet activity, repeated walking, or lawnmower tracks. Furthermore, it boosts the lawn's resilience against drought and wear, while also playing a role in limiting thatch accumulation over time.

Regular application of this specialized sand gradually enhances the soil's structure, which in turn promotes better drainage, improved air circulation within the soil, and stronger root development – all crucial for a thriving lawn. This is particularly beneficial for dense, compacted, or clay-rich soils.

The optimal time to apply top dressing sand is during periods of active grass growth, especially in spring or autumn when sufficient moisture is present to help the sand settle into the turf. For superior results, it's recommended to top dress after lawn aeration, allowing the sand to work its way into the created holes. Spread the sand thinly and evenly across the mown lawn using a soft brush or rake.

Benefits of Regular Lawn Top Dressing with Sand:

• Creates a Level Surface: Fills in hollows and undulations caused by various activities, leading to a smoother lawn.
• Improves Resilience: Enhances the lawn's ability to withstand drought and wear from foot traffic.
• Reduces Thatch Build-up: Helps to decompose organic matter and prevent excessive thatch accumulation.
• Enhances Soil Structure: Over time, it improves drainage and aeration, particularly in heavy or clay soils.
• Promotes Root Development: Better soil structure encourages stronger and deeper root growth.
• Leads to a Healthier Lawn: The combined benefits result in a more vigorous and robust lawn.
