What is Top Dressing?
Top dressing is the process of spreading a thin layer of compost, sand, or soil across your lawn to enrich the existing ground and promote healthy growth. It’s often used to improve soil structure and fix patchy or uneven areas.
Whether your lawn is struggling with poor drainage, nutrient deficiencies, or rough terrain, top dressing creates a healthier foundation for your grass to grow stronger, thicker, and more evenly over time. It also complements aeration and leveling perfectly.
Does Your Lawn Need It?
If your lawn is bumpy, struggling to grow evenly, or has poor soil quality, top dressing can make a big difference. Signs you could benefit include:
✅ Uneven patches or low spots
✅ Hard or compacted soil
✅ Poor drainage or water pooling
✅ Thin or unhealthy grass growth

📋 FAQ
What’s in the top dressing mix?
At Bold Gold, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We require a soil test before top dressing so we know exactly what your lawn needs. This helps us tailor the mix—whether it's compost, sand, soil, or a custom blend—to improve your specific soil conditions.
How thick is the top dressing layer?
Typically around ¼ inch — just enough to nourish without smothering.
Will it make a mess?
We apply the dressing cleanly and always tidy up after.
Can this fix bumps and low spots?
Yes — top dressing is great for smoothing minor uneven areas. For lawns with deeper bumps or dips, we offer a full Lawn Leveling service to create a truly even surface. Not sure which one you need? Ask us — we’re happy to help!
