TOP DRESSING and Top Soiling Your Lawn to Fix BARE SPOTS

  • Bare spots in your lawn are a huge pain. Top dressing is a good option to give grass a place to spread into bare areas and fill in nice and full. In this video, I used Black Kow manure 0.5-0.5-0.5 to topdress an area that was torn up and left bare and ugly. Fixing an ugly lawn is a struggle that every lawn enthusiast will have to encounter, whether it be a bare spot or an entire ugly lawn. I plan to sand level this spot at some point also but I want to wait for the Bermuda grass to fill in the bare spot first. The topdressing or top soiling actually is pretty level to start with so a sand leveling should be no big deal. This bare spot of mine can represent any bare spot in your lawn, so follow along to see how this bare spot fills in over the next couple of weeks.

    Truly appreciate this video, thank you very much. I'm a first time home owner just getting into lawn care, and am just learning about top dressing. I have a question. Did you completely cover the grass? From what I've learned thus far you should leave it exposed and not smother it, so that it can receive sunlight.
    Also how would this work in combination with aeration?

    • @TheLawnTools
      @TheLawnTools  4 роки тому +1

      Top dressing is great after aeration because you fill the holes with good stuff. I aerated before I sand leveled last year to get sand down in the holes.
      As for completely covering the grass - it’s probably best not to completely cover it but with bermudagrass, it comes right through. Especially with dirt because as rain comes, the material breaks down and falls down below the top of the grass. I covered my grass with sand last year to level it and it grew through just fine.

That triangle is the tee box for the first hole of the mini golf course and you can see it in the video where left tool and I play a full round BUT it is scalped just like all the other mini golf holes in that video. As an update though... the grass filled in perfectly and looks as nice as the rest of my lawn now 😁

      Ha I actually don’t. I’m pretty hairless. But maybe I’ll give it a shot... (foreshadowing??)

      As in a light overspray of roundup. Some customers (in my experience) will attempt to spray their own beds for weeds. Some sprayers continue to spray when nozzle is pressed. I hold my wand upside down and I do spray beds. Just like walking through a freshly sprayed bed and random spots appear a couple of days later. Not saying it's the case, just sharing one of my experiences! 🤷‍♂️

    You ask for neighbors permission? Looks like a sliver of that is not your property haha

      Actually, they DID say I could do whatever I wanted to the whole space between our houses. I thought about mowing the whole thing... but that’s my only domination line 😂

      The Lawn Tools wish I had one. I have driveways on both sides of my property.
