Fertilizing Method: Topdress lawns with a thin layer of Soil³ humus compost to renovate and improve an existing residential or commercial lawn or sports field turfgrass. With this layer of Soil³ compost we are addressing the problems of thinning or unhealthy sod and/or providing the first application of fertilizer for the year.
Use compost topdressing to improve lawns and as a fertilizer application:
- 1 cubic yard of compost will cover 1,000 sq. ft.
- 2 cubic yards will cover 2,000 sq. ft.
Smoothing Method: Topdress lawns with a thicker layer of Level Mix, a compost blend with 70% sand, to add structure and smooth at the same time.
Use Level Mix topdressing to smooth and level lawns and as a fertilizer application:
- 1 cubic yard of compost will cover 500 to 1,000 sq. ft.
- 2 cubic yards will cover 1,000 to 2,000 sq. ft.

Only two weeks ago this homeowner topdressed with Soil³ compost for his first fertilizer application – the topdressed area is already dark green thanks to nature’s nutrients inherent in the compost.
A border around the lawn was kept untreated because that grass will be removed and a fence installed along the front and driveway with a flower border in the back; the untreated area is light green because it didn’t receive any compost (so no nutrients). This is just one example of why we strongly believe Soil³ compost is the best top dressing for lawns. The difference is night and day!
