Quick facts

Lawn Builder Topdress Mix does not contain any animal by-products, just luscious, living soil, enchanced to make your plants grow strong and healthy

Why Lawn Builder Topdress Mix is different from other topsoil products 

This product contains additional benefits over other lawn soils which are:

  • Lawn Builder slow release lawn food that releases an ideal balance of all essential nutrients for 3 months.
  • A professional grade wetting agent that increases penetration of water and nutrients, aids in the prevention of dry spot and waterlogging, encourages rewetting of dry soils, and increases total water held by the soil.
  • Quick iron- promotes fast lawn greening.
  • Organic composted material - a living soil.

How to use

  • Lawn Builder Topdress Mix  may be spread thinly over an existing lawn alone or in combination with over-seeding to boost lawn density.
  • Topdress should be spread over the grass and raked to level the area. If over-seeding, use quality seed and follow package directions. For heavily thatched lawns, mechanical aeration prior to topdressing is recommended.
  • To prepare an area for a new seeded or turfed lawn, spray area with a non-selective herbicide such as Roundup according to label directions, at least 10 days before planting.
  • Dig out dead weeds and grass then loosen existing soil. Spread a 2.5cm layer of Lawn Builder Organic Lawn Soil and mix into top 2.5cm of existing soil.
  • Spread seed or lay turf and water frequently. In 8-10 weeks, feed with Scotts Lawn Builder Fertiliser.

Available in 30L bags

Safety

Lawn Builder Topdress Mix consists of a blend of rich, composted organic materials. Natural products such as garden soils, potting mixes and mulches all contain living micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Wear gloves when handling these products and a dust mask and safety glasses if dust or mist (bioaerosol) levels are high.
