Top Dressing Your Turf

A thriving landscape starts with healthy soil. 
Our Organic Compost Top Dressing service introduces nutrient-dense organic matter and beneficial microorganisms to your soil, 
building a strong, resilient lawn that lasts.

What is Top Dressing

Our Top Dressing Service is the broad application of OMRI-Listed organic nutrient-rich and biologically active compost to turf and garden beds. This service introduces essential nutrients and microorganisms to your soils, building a strong, lush, and resilient landscape. Biologically driven, our top dressing service results in enhanced soil structure, a vibrant soil microbiome, and stimulated root and blade growth.

Seasonal Top Dressing improves the soil's porosity and permeability, increases water retention, decreases irrigation frequency, and reduces stormwater runoff from your landscape. With healthy soils, your turf and gardens are better equipped to retain and utilize additional nutrients applied throughout the year. Better nutrient uptake means reduced nutrient leaching, a less fertilizer dependent landscape, fewer fertilizer applications throughout the year, and a lessened impact on our waterways. 

Concerned about compost in your landscape? Unlike fertilizers, compost has a pleasant, earthy fragrance and is all-natural, safe for people, pets, and the lagoon. Additionally, with our top dressing service, there's no need to put a pause on your garden living. Continue enjoying your time outdoors by choosing the natural option for a greener landscape- Clint Marshall Fine Landscapes Organic Top Dressing.

Benefits of Top Dressing

Bolsters Stability of Soils

Added organic matter increases pore space within the soils, improving the aeration and oxygenation of the landscape's root zone and soil structure.



Promotes Root Growth

Top Dressing improves soil porosity, which facilitates root expansion and improves the overall strength and composition of the root zone.



Reduces Thatch Buildup

Top Dressing provides increased moisture and oxygen in the soils, facilitating microorganisms in their decomposition of thatch.



Reduces Fertilizer Dependence

Increased nutrient retention of turf and garden roots means reduced nutrient applications throughout the year. Less fertilizer leads to less nutrient runoff and a lessened impact on our lagoon.


Reduces Water Use

Increased soil permeability improves water retention, reduces irrigation dependency and costs, increases drought tolerance, and builds resilience.



Boosts Soil Health

Top Dressing facilitates nutrient uptake and retention, reduces nutrient leaching, and improves the utilization of available nutrients in the soils.



Reduces Disease Prevalence

Top Dressing boosts the immune defense of your plants, equipping them to better fight disease and recover from pest damage.



Brings Life to the Soil

Top Dressing creates a hospitable environment for soil microbial life. Beneficial fungi and bacteria begin to flourish in the nutrient-dense root zone, feeding and protecting your landscape.
