Your Sir Walter Premium Lawn Turf has been bred to be a self-repairing, quality soft leaf buffalo grass - and as a result doesn't require top dressing.

Top dressing of Sir Walter is only necessary to correct any unevenness in ground preparation. However, if you are concerned about keeping moisture around the turf during hotter weather whilst it is establishing, your Sir Walter can be top dressed.

If top dressing is required, it should only be done in late spring or early summer with a sandy loam, and no more than 10mm should be applied per top dressing. The tips of the leaves of your grass should still be visible after top dressing.

We have found that quite often a low mowing, combined with fertilising and deep watering in spring will achieve the same result as top dressing with less effort required and less money spent.
