  • Is sand or topsoil better for top dressing a lawn? Top dressing is something you typically do after you aerate your lawn. In almost all cases, it is better to top dress with topsoil, but there are times where sand is better for your lawn #soil #gardening #aerator #lawnaeration #aeration #topsoil #diy #lawncare #lawntok

    Wet sand does not become concrete… it just becomes dry sand that is now packed tighter.

      Well no shit. Anyone with half a brain knows sand doesn’t turn into concrete. It’s called a metaphor.

      @@cyoung57706it’s not a metaphor, it’s completely wrong. The beach doesn’t get hard, I have properties that are really sandy and they’re great for growing and easy to dig in. The stuff he’s using will float and runoff in a hard rain or puddle if your trying to fill low spots.

    Sand doesn’t turn into sand bars or sand stone. But it does get extremely hot and if not careful, can scorch your yard

    This is not correct. You need both unless you have Bermuda. Mix the sand and soil. Sand does not turn into concrete. It helps trapped water get out. If you only use soil, you're risking root rot from retaining too much moisture

    The myth of sand turning concreteish has been debunked by LCN

    Completely wrong! You’ve clearly never been to the beach or a sandbox. Not only does sand not turn to concrete it creates a great layer to help water soak into and roots can easily grow thru it.
