TopDressing

Topdressing material is applied using low ground pressure equipment.  Products such as sand, compost or amended soils are applied at predetermined rates.  Topdressing combined with deep tine aeration allows for the soil profile to be adjusted vertically.

Field sweeping after topdressing assists in removing minor surface irregularities as well as incorporating the topdressing material into aeration holes.  Combined benefits with deep tine aeration include improving long term aeration, reducing soil compaction, improving surface drainage and air exchange to the roots.
