How to Top Dress and Level a Sloped Lawn using Compost

By letter2self on November 15, 2022



Top Dressing and Leveling a sloped lawn is a challenge that many homeowners face. In this video we take the mystery out of getting a great result when leveling a lawn with a slope. We show how to choose between soil and sand for your lawn top dressing and leveling project. You’ll learn about the required tools and the pros and cons of each. Our preferred tool of choice is the leveling rake

Using a leveling rake on a slope is a great method for getting a smooth surface on your Bermuda grass lawn. There are a few subtle techniques with the leveling rake that will help you get a great result. The method is slightly different to how you would use a leveling rake on a flat surface. When leveling a slope, it’s important to use the weight of the rake to do most of the work. The lawn leveling tips we share in this video will help you get a great result.

A lawn leveling rake is a very important tool for getting the best possible result when you top dressing or leveling your lawn. While there are other types of rakes, using a lawn leveling rake will save a lot of time during the lawn top dressing process. It allows you to quickly move the soil or sand mixture around while simultaneously working it into the turf.

It’s a great lawn care tool that allows you to get the best result in your top dressing project in the least amount of time.

In this video we use the Soil3 compost from Super Sod. We like it because it’s very rich organic material that improves soil quality. We also cover Super Sod’s level mix which is 70% USGA sand and 30% compost.
