Topdressing Greens


Throughout the season when you see topdressing sand on the greens this is the typical method that we use to apply it. Kiln dried sand is fanned out onto the green surface with the topdresser. At times we may use walk behind fertilizer spreaders to apply it to smaller areas or sod spots.
Dry sand is an excellent product to use given our location where the turf stays moist for long periods of time where we cannot apply "wet" sand and let it dry before brushing it in. Conversely the dry sand drops down into the grass neatly when lightly applied. Topdressing sand is applied to provide a medium for turf to grow into in addition to smoothing the playing surface and controlling thatch buildup.
