Searles Lawn Top Dressing 30L is a fine-screened lawn top dressing mix for levelling uneven areas and refreshing established lawns. It combines composted ingredients, fine loam and dressing sand with fertiliser to improve lawn soil and support healthy growth.
Features and benefits
- Fine texture: works down through the grass towards the soil.
- Three-month feeding: Robust Lawn Booster controlled-release fertiliser supplies nutrients.
- Improved wetting: Penetraide rewetting granules help water penetrate the soil.
- Added iron and minerals: support green colour and root development.
- All lawn types: suitable for general lawn maintenance and minor surface repairs.
How to apply
Apply during active growth, generally from spring to autumn. Follow the current bag directions.
- Mow the lawn the day before application.
- Spread evenly over the areas requiring attention. Searles' guide suggests approximately 1–2 cm, but use a thinner layer wherever needed to keep grass tips exposed.
- Rake the mix through the lawn without burying the green leaves.
- Water thoroughly to settle the material into place.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 30L bag cover?
By volume, one bag covers approximately 3 m² at 10 mm deep or 1.5 m² at 20 mm deep. These are calculated estimates before settling; uneven ground and application losses will affect coverage.
Can I use it to level an uneven lawn?
Yes, it can help correct small surface irregularities. Keep the grass tips visible when spreading, rather than filling deeply enough to bury living grass.
