Turf Renovation - The Process
Blower trucks allow several cumbersome steps to be combined into one easy application for turf renovation. The blower truck places a final 1 to 2 inch thick layer of biologically formulated compost, which is blended with seed.
Topdressing / Overseeding - The Process
-
Core aerate turf area to a depth of 2 1/2 - 3 inches.
-
Blow in a 1/2 - 3/4 inch uniform layer of high quality compost (seed can be injected at this time for overseeding when necessary).
-
Back-rake the treated area to break-up the soil plugs and mix the compost and soil together to backgill into the aeration holes (raking may not always be necessary).
-
Water thoroughly.
-
Use of quality organic fertilizer and/or compost tea for maintaining good microbial population in the soil is recommended.

Advantages:
-
Seed is planted rather than exposed on the surface
-
Germination is greatly increased because of the warmth and moisture surrounding the seed in the soil
-
The "blown-in" applications levels the soil for a smoother well drained surface.
