Rolawn Turf and Lawn Seeding Topsoil and Lawn Topdressing There are two types of lawn-based products we supply, courtesy of the country's leading turf and topsoil supplier Rolawn, and both have specific uses. The Turf and Lawn Seeding Topsoil has been blended to provide a nutrient rich, firm, flat base for creating a new lawn, either by laying turf or sowing grass seed. The Lawn Topdressing has been created to give established lawns a lift and will help with drainage, encourage new growth and assist with the control of thatch.
We've supplied a brief outline of the lawn products above, and here's a list of what you can expect from each;

How to Use Lawn Topdressing Topdressing should only be applied when the grass surface is relatively dry and it should be worked into the sward. Generally this is done using the back of a rake or stiff brush. The application of the topdressing should not be so much that it smothers the grass when work has finished. Once the operation has been completed, there should be no obvious clumps of topdressing on the surface and the grass should be clearly visible. Watering the lawn when you have finished will put the final touches to the job. Do not mow immediately after applying the dressing, as mowing may remove some of the dressing and may cause damage and unnecessary wear to the mower.
