Lawn Leveling & Repair

Collection: Lawn Leveling & Repair

Spring reveals every dip, frost heave, and dog trail in a New England lawn. Top-dressing with the right blend in April or early May lets the grass grow back through and recover before the summer heat sets in. The combination most Brockton and South Shore homeowners reach for is a screened loam blended with sharp sand for drainage and finished with compost on top.

What goes into a level lawn:

  • Topsoil Loam ½" Screened — the workhorse for filling depressions deeper than ½". Spread, rake level, water in.
  • Super Loam — richer organic content; better choice if you're also overseeding bare patches at the same time.
  • Mason Sand — the sharp, fine sand top-dressing crews use. Levels minor undulations and improves drainage in heavy clay yards.
  • Compost — ¼" top dressing across the whole lawn each spring is the single best long-term move. Feeds soil microbes, locks in moisture.
  • Garden Soil Mix — pre-blended loam and compost for patching bare spots before reseed.
  • Infield Soil Mix — blonde clay-loam blend; firmer base if you're rebuilding a backyard pitch or play area.

Coverage rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard of loam covers ~325 sq ft at ¼" thick (top-dress depth) or ~80 sq ft at 1" thick (patch depth). A typical ⅛-acre lawn ($\sim$5,400 sq ft) takes 1.5–2 yards for a full top dress.
