OVERSEEDING &
TOP DRESSING

OVERSEEDING

Like any living thing grass gets old and doesn’t look as vibrant as it once did. Overseeding introduces new plants into an established lawn bringing new life and vigour. The Green Standard uses a selection of the highest quality mixes used in sports grounds and courses across the country. We discuss lawn usage and assess current cultivars to help decide on the right mix for your green space.

Service Highlights

  • Use of the highest quality seed mixes
  • Application rate 20-35 grams per m2
  • Dragged in to avoid seed sitting on top of the grass
  • Will require 2-4 weeks of watering after application

Top Dressing

Top dressing is a great way to introduce new microbiology into your soils. The Green Standard uses a lawn specific, finely graded compost dressing helping your lawn to greater retention of water and develop a better tolerance to disease.

Applied using specially optimised equipment we lay down a layer of dressing which is then dragged in to the existing sward, standing the original grass back up above the new dressing. Top dressing will not level a lawn as organic matter breaks down. If you are looking to level small depressions and firm up the surface check out our levelling service.

Service Highlights

  • Finely graded compost dressing
  • Applied then dragged in
  • Safe to go on to the lawn straight after application
