Our Top Dressing approach is the same as used on premium golf courses and ball fields.
The process:
- Core Aeration; removes 3/4″x3″ core plugs.
- Spread organic compost; the compost will displace the, “plugs” pulled via core aeration and begin the soil transformation.
The combination of compost top dressing and core aeration is the only way to change soil structure, just short of excavating sod and 3″ of dirt.
Most homes are built on sterile clay. The clay often is spread then sod is laid – good luck getting water and nutrients to the roots.
Our organic compost is full of beneficial bacteria, fungi and soil microbes.
The benefit of compost:
- Adds organic matter to the soil – Humus.
- Helps cover the bare spots so turf will spread.
- Retains moisture – can reduce watering by 30% – Save water and money.
- Helps control disease and insect problems – using less chemicals.
- Deters compaction and thatch.
- Recommended to be done at least once a year.
