🌱 Why Top Dressing Matters (Especially for Your Trees) 🌳
In natural environments, trees recycle their own nutrients—leaves, twigs, and organic debris break down and build rich, healthy soil.
But in our lawns, we remove most of that material… and over time, the soil suffers.
That’s where top dressing comes in 👇
Benefits of Top Dressing:
• Adds organic matter back into depleted soils
• Improves soil structure (better root growth + less compaction)
• Increases water infiltration and retention
• Feeds beneficial microbes that support tree and turf health
• Provides slow-release nutrients naturally
• Helps reduce stress on trees during drought and heat
• Encourages deeper, stronger root systems
• Can improve overall lawn appearance and vigor
