Topdressing lawn
Hi,
I have a 12mth old established Wintergreen cough lawn in good condition, but with many small bumps and pits from when it was laid remaining. I would like to level it out to obtain as level a surface as possible and am fairly sure topdressing it is the solution. My question is what time of year is the best time to go about it and I have heard that sometimes loam is used and sometimes sand is used? Any other pointers would be appreciated, I live in Adelaide. |

Heading into winter now so it's not really the ultimate time. Wait 'till the end of winter, start of spring. No harm in using sand, mixed with some chook poo. Probably 70% sand, 30% chook poo. Throw on then level out. A lawn level rake is good for this, but so is an old wooden window frame, a large (2 or 3m, by 2 or 3m) piece of reinforcement, or if you are feeling strong, awooden brick pallet. Drag any of the above over the area after spreading it a little. Should work well. Water in, and it'll be all good. I have heard of loam, good garden soil being used, but there is no real need for it. Good luck |
