Topdressing is a thin layer of organic material which is often mixed with sand or topsoil and applied across the top of the lawn. Topdressing introduces a material to your soil that will improve drainage, allow the soil to exchange gases with the atmosphere better, and promote the development of soil micro flora and micro fauna, which are needed to break down thatch and grass clippings.

Green Circles Method:
Green Circles will weed, dethatch and cut your lawn very short (1cm or less). We will then spread Gro-Turf Premium Organic Topdress Soil Mixture and a quality starter fertilizer over the surface of your lawn. The appropriate grass seed blend will be spread and raked into this soil. This service can be coupled with a heavy aeration to enhance the penetration of the topdressing soil mix into the root zone of the lawn and a quality fertilizer program to keep the renovated lawn looking its best.
