Many homeowner’s feel that winter is a time to kick up their heels and not worry about their lawns again until spring arrives. At the Revive Company, they strongly disagree with this statement. They say that winter is the perfect time for someone to top-dress their soil to help enhance it over the winter months. That’s why they are actively promoting the benefits of winter lawn care that include the use of organic lawn care products.
Company spokesperson, John Eden, had this to say about why winter top dressing can give any lawn a boost before the more favorable spring growing season arrives, “Even though grasses become dormant in the winter, it does not mean that the soil these grasses are growing in has to remain dormant too. A good top dressing will actually enhance your soil over the winter to help enrich it before the active spring lawn growing season begins. Plants will also experience some root growth over winter unless the ground is completely frozen. This can go a long way towards giving your lawn the jumpstart that it needs to stay lush and green throughout the rest of the year. That’s why our company actively promotes winter lawn top dressing.”
Eden went on to say there are different schools of thought regarding when winter top-dressing should be done. Like all types of soil treatments, the correct time to do it depends on the soil type in a particular area. He does say that as a general rule to give people an idea of when it’s time to apply a proper soil top dressing, it should be done around when the grass in someone’s lawn starts growing so slow that it no longer requires mowing. Eden suggests that people consult with a local lawn professional to determine what’s the best time of year to do winter lawn care that includes a beneficial top dressing in their area.
The company spokesman says that winter top dressing mixtures usually include a blend of loam, sand, and peat in varying amounts according to the soil type they are being applied over. Eden says that many lawn care professionals also add winter fertilizers or ‘winterizers’ into the top-dressing mix. These winterizers should include all-natural and organic ingredients such as those that Revive uses in their winter fertilization products. Revive organic fertilizers are designed using slow-release, nutrient-rich non-burning formulas that also save water. This will help make any top dressing a true home mixed quality soil. Eden says another key to making an effective top dressing is that the mixture should be very fine. Once the mix is fine enough, it can then be spread lightly and evenly over an entire lawn. He cautioned that a homeowner or lawn professional never wants to leave the top dressing on top of grasses or other lawn plants. It needs to be carefully worked into the top of a lawn’s soil using the backside of a rake or a lute. According to the company spokesperson, top dressing one’s lawn even has the added benefit of smoothing out the bumps and small divots commonly found in most lawns. He added that performing lawn aeration a few days before a top dressing is applied is also thought to make using a top dressing even more effective.
The company spokesperson said that one reason that people like to use their lawn care fertilizers in a top-dressing mix is that they have proven to be very effective. Here is an example of that in this 5 out of 5-start review from Timothy T that says, “Incredible results...love the product. I always get asked about my lawn - it is the best by far in my area.”
