Top dressing does not just improve the look of your lawn, but also benefits the health of the grass. It allows you to maintain a true and level lawn surface by filling in any imperfections or hollow areas to create a smooth surface which makes sowing a new lawn not only easier but will create a much better looking lawn. It also helps to dilute the thatch layers, assisting in their natural breakdown and preventing them from building up.

The summer months are the ones where we hope to relax a little in the garden, spending time enjoying the fruits of our spring labours and perhaps walking barefoot on our beautifully prepared, perfect lawn. It is also the season when the lawn comes under the greatest amount of stress.Reduced rainfall, rapid lawn growth, which uses up the nutrients in the soil and the increased presence of people happily trampling over the grass can all take their toll. Mowing, feeding and careful watering can keep your lawn at its best in summer.Rake your lawn vigorously with a spring-tined rake, aiming to reduce loose debris without uprooting the grass After watering there may be some patchy areas.
