Top Dressing
Top Dressing Services in Preserve at Four Points
What Is Top Dressing?
Top dressing is the process of spreading a thin layer of nutrient-rich soil or compost across your lawn. This helps:
- Fill in low or bumpy areas
- Improve soil structure and drainage
- Break down thatch layers
- Boost microbial activity in the soil
- Encourage stronger root development
- Improve seed-to-soil contact after overseeding
When combined with aeration or overseeding, top dressing becomes one of the most powerful ways to restore a tired or compacted lawn.

The ideal times for top dressing in Preserve at Four Points are:
- Early Spring – Kickstart new growth and repair winter stress
