Top dressing services for homes and businesses in Westfield, Watchung, Warren, and nearby areas.

Add top dressing, a prepared mix of soil and other organic matter, to your lawn to improve soil quality and strengthen grass.

When your soil doesn’t have enough nutrients, it negatively impacts your grass and other plants as they grow. They don’t have the ability to absorb those much-needed nutrients from the soil. One way to fix this issue is by applying a top dressing treatment to your lawn.

We provide top dressing treatments to residences and businesses in Westfield, Watchung, Warren, and other nearby New Jersey communities.

What is Top Dressing & How It Benefits Your Lawn

Top dressing a lawn involves putting down about a quarter-inch of organic matter over the top of your grass. It can be spread by shovels or by machine. At Stream Line Lawn & Landscape, we use a machine in order to be as efficient as possible. It is most effective after a lawn has been aerated and dethatched. When top dressing is performed after core aeration, it gives the top dressing material an opportunity to settle into the holes left by the aerator.

The materials used for top dressing can vary depending on the needs of individual lawns. Most topdressing is made from composted materials that are highly decomposed.

The benefits of applying top dressing include increasing organic matter in your soil, as well as:

• Strong, healthy grass: The extra organic matter in the soil will give the grass the nutrients it needs to grow to optimal health. Roots will grow deeper into the soil as the grass becomes stronger.
• Stops weeds from growing: Topdressing provides an extra barrier for weeds as it’s more difficult for them to break through.
• Helps to keep moisture in the soil: An extra layer of top dressing serves as a way to increase moisture retention and decrease evaporation.

Top dressing can also serve to smooth out your lawn and get rid of any bumps that may pop up. Bumps can happen due to earthworms and other bugs under the soil.

Who Should Use Top Dressing for Their Lawns

Top dressing can benefit any property, particularly those with lower nutrients in their soil. To determine the levels of nutrients in your soil, a soil test can be conducted. Top dressing is best performed after aeration and overseeding in the early spring to give your lawn an extra boost for the rest of the growing season.
