The Secret to the Perfect Lawn? Topdressing! Topdress Your Yard

Показать описание
If your lawn isn't quite as level as you'd like, you've got to try topdressing your yard! Applying top dressing is a great way to smooth out any low or uneven spots and get a nice polished look for your grass. Lawn leveling is actually one of the best ways to ensure long term soil & grass health, and the results always look amazing.

In this video, I'm going to show you just how easy it is to top dress your lawn with the ECO 250. _This is important to do during the summertime, when the grass is actively growing._

Topdressing mix is a combination of sand and compost. The sand fills up all the empty spots; the compost adds organic fertilizer with beneficial microbes and also helps break down all that thatch material -- brown/dead grass.

Whether applying compost, sand, soil or a custom blend to existing turf, the ECO 250’s superior maneuverability allows you to distribute bulk material in a 180-degree forward arc. The spread can range from 3 feet wide up to 18 feet wide! This machine makes topdressing quick, smooth and effortless.

*HOW MUCH WILL I NEED?*
Wondering how much topdressing you'll need for your lawn? A good rule of thumb is estimating 1 ton for every per 1,000 sq. feet.

But first things first, we've got to cut our Empire Zoysia grass super short (almost but not quite scalping it) - about an inch and a half tall.

Does this work with cool season grass like kentucky blue, fescue, and rye. We have clients that have uneven yards.

Ryan, can you use a sand and compost mix on any type of grass to top dress? We have a small suburban lot and the soil is terrible. We live in Iowa and I’m not sure what type of grass we have???

How do you estimate how much material you will need?

Just think how much your lawn would pop if you ran a dethatcher 3-4 times first.

Why wouldn't you mechanically detach first? Great piece of equipment.
What is the overall width? (gate constraints)

Look for a Landzie leveling rake.

Great video, but in reality there is no machine that will truly fix those low spots.

Make sure you get sand all over the Honda. Why EcoLawn didn't put a shield over that is beyond me.

I just spent the last 30 minutes clicking the "do not recommend channel" on all the garden videos YT insists I want to see. Think they'll go away? Now I'm not recommending, leaving shitty comments and giving lawn videos a thumbs down.

Ummm…not thatch. Thatch is stems - I didn’t see any stems.
