Our Top Dressing will enhance the look of your lawn, create a level surface and improve drainage. It can also be used in a turf base application prior to laying turf. This premium lawn improver is made from a blend of 70% fine sand and 30% peat-free 10mm fine grade compost.

The compost used in this blend is made from locally collected recycled garden cuttings and clippings, this compost is screened to 0-10mm and is high in organic matter that is extremely beneficial to your lawn but as a natural product we can struggle to control the amount of small stones, inert grit and woody particles that pass through our screening mesh. This top dressing may contain quantities of inert and woody material that may remain on the surface after spreading but will typically work their way down into the soil over time as the lawn thickens and “greens” up.

  1. George Fergus (verified owner)

    Excellent product, easy to work with, had used a hollow tine corer so this filled the holes and will help with drainage.

  2. Keith Saker (verified owner)

    Excellent top dressing for the lawn will definitely purchase again next year.

  3. George Fergus (verified owner)

    Had used a hollow tine corer so the top dressing was ideal to spread over and much of it refilled the holes. Expecting to see an improvement of my lawn before long.

  4. Andy Flavell (verified owner)

    Overall, a very good experience. Very reasonable price, very accommodating driver delivered it exactly where it was needed. The mix was very soft, with no sticks or stones. The compost wasn’t mixed in perfectly – some lumps of black stuff but this is a minor criticism and easily rectified by a bit of scrunching with hands or feet. Used it on a lawn that was in a very bad state and the seed is just getting going right now and looks very promising.

  5. Malcolm (verified owner)

    An excellent product to allow effective overseeding of a very sparse. dried-out lawn.

  6. Mark Andrew (verified owner)

    This being my first order, the service from sales team to delivery was absolutely excellent and the quality of top soil was top notch, top dressing and Kelpie compost 👍. New lawn and restorative lawn already have been mown for the first time. I am recommending Caledonian Horticulture already to anyone looking for a good product.

  7. Lynne Baxter (verified owner)

    Delivered faster than I thought by a helpful person. Good value – there were lumps of top soil in there so the mixing isn’t perfect but overall it is a very good product. It is a huge bag well filled so bw prepared to do a lot of shovelling.

  8. Raymond Hamill (verified owner)

    Good top dressing – fine sand/soil mixture – easy to spread. Used for topdressing / grass-seeding our back garden. Two weeks in and grass is coming up nicely. Have ordered two more bulk bags for another part of teh garden where we will be sowing meadowflower seeds.

  9. Wendy Lawson (verified owner)

    Have ordered many times from Caledonian Horticulture since covid and have never been dissapointed. Their top dressing is well balanced and easy to spread. Will re order next year.

  10. GREENSLEEVES – REGION SCOTTISH BORDERS & NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND (verified owner)

    Good quality topdressing from Caledonian Horticulture, light enough that I can expect grass to push through within a few weeks when levelling existing grass areas, heavy enough that it won’t get blown away by the wind.
    Bulk bags seem to have a more even consistency than individual bags, not sure why that would be!

    Seems to be nice and nutritious too as any areas where I use it green up nicely within a few weeks.

  11. Simon (verified owner)

    Looking forward to my improved lawn in Spring

  12. James (verified owner)

    Excellent top dressing, pretty well graded, just a few lumps of compost but for the price no problem bashing them out with the rake. I’ll be buying this every year.

    Very pleased with this ,it will help with the drain edges,and help the poor soil here

  18. Alan Westwood (verified owner)

    Ordered a couple of bulk bags for some levelling and top dressing on my lawn. It worked a treat, the old grass grew through it quickly and the reseeded areas also grew well. Delivery was on time and the driver was very considerate, placing the bags exactly in the best spot. Will use Caledonian Horticulture again.

  23. David Scott (verified owner)

    Front lawn was like a giant sponge with moss. Hardly any grass was growing through it. Removed all the moss (2 builders bags worth) then put 3 builders bags of the top dressing on and reseeded. Excellent quality top dressing and great value.

  24. G Urquhart (verified owner)

    Excellent product (top dressing) at a good price.. Clean, dry and easy to apply. Delivery was quick and convenient, and driver was exceedingly helpful (and skilful) in placing large bag precisely where I needed it on my driveway. I shall certainly return in years to come.

  28. Jason Campbell (verified owner)

    Fantastic product at a very good price. Great on all lawns. Difficult to source a good top dress in the West for residential and small business. Will definitely use ongoing.

  37. Barry MacDonald

    Easy to level garden and top dress lawn

  38. James Brown (verified owner)

    A top quality product from a great company. Hassle free ordering and timely delivery. More importantly I had bought from elsewhere previously and the top dress was full off stones oversized to the screed described.
    Buy from here and you won’t be disappointed.

  39. Alexander Wilson (verified owner)

    I’ve used this several times and although it is a bit of work using a builder’s bag and spreading it it seems to be well worthwhile. My lawn is a lot better than it used to be.

  40. C Poustie (verified owner)

    Great compost

  41. Jennifer Donald

    Bought this to try to improve our lawn. Realise that having bought the builders bag it was a huge effort for us as pensioners to unload it and spread it over the grass. Waiting to see what the grass is like in Spring. Will only buy bags in future. Really appreciate the good quality of all the soils we have tried. Thank you

  42. Craig Macdonald (verified owner)

    This is great stuff! Very easy to work with. I had a big hollow in my lawn and used the lawn dressing to fill this up. With the grass now fully established it looks great, lovely and great with nice stripes. I plan to buy more for the spring to lightly dust over the rest of the lawn.

  43. Rhona Cameron (verified owner)

    Excellent quality & value and super service too!

  44. Richard lockhart (verified owner)

    V good made a real difference to the lawn.

  45. Ewa Sliwinska (verified owner)

    I used the top dressing to rebuild the lawn. It is a great product. Lawn continues growing happily. I can recommend this top dressing for using to lay on the existing lawn or under the new one.
