Topdressing is a proven cultural practice often completed in conjunction with aeration and seeding in turf maintenance programs and renovation procedures. Topdressing allows for the addition of soil amendments which can improve the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil, thereby enhancing turf quality, vigor, and improving resistance to soil and enviromental stresses.
Today, the use of high quality compost and compost blends allows for the economic topdressing of large turf areas. In conjunction with the Waltrip Express Mulch Blower, we provide pneumatic conveying systems for turf maintenance and renovation.
