What is lawn sanding? Lawn sanding is the practice of spreading a layer of sand and/or organic product on top of your existing lawn to level it and make it smooth so that when it is mowed it produces a great looking lawn. While appearance is the main reason most people choose to topdress their lawn, there are several other reasons to do so. We will discuss these positives as we tell you about our process:

1. We will use commercial mowers to scalp your lawn down to a height that allows the topdress material access to the soil beneath the turf.
2. We will then use a core aerator to aerate the soil. This process allows the material we use to penetrate to the soil profile and benefits the soil long term. It also relieves compaction and encourages deeper root growth, which will in turn allow your turf more access to moisture deep within the ground. It also provides more access for your turf plant to oxygen, which it needs to thrive.
3. We will then use our professional topdress machine to spread our special blended product onto you lawn. We use only USGA sand that has been approved by the U.S. Golf Association for use on golf courses. This sand is weed-free, unlike many other types you can buy. We then blend this sand with Erth Food® to create a product that will add fertilizer and vital micro and macro nutrients to your soil to improve the soil structure. This will result in a very quick green-up to your turf. We normally see a total re-growth of the turf within 7-10 days, depending on watering practices. Erth Food is a purely organic product that enhances water and nutrient holding capacities and improves soil structure, further limiting the amount of water your turf will need. This process also will help to eliminate thatch by heating it up and breaking it down, thereby creating more useful topsoil. Thatch is the dead grass lying just on top of your soil, and is also the place where most turf diseases start.
4. The turf area will then be dragged and swept to insure that the product is spread evenly and to eliminate all low and high spots.
5. We will then clean up any mess we may have made. We will also blow off your driveway, sidewalk, and street in front of your home leaving it looking nice and neat

As you can see the process of sanding your lawn involves much more than just spreading sand on top of your turf, it also provides your turf with all it needs to thrive. It is a FACT that the best defense for any lawn against weeds, pests, and diseases is a healthy turf. We can help you get started. Call today!
