A fine, free-flowing lawn dressing made up of 70% silica sand and 30% sandy soil (screened to 3mm). Ideal for top dressing a domestic or commercial lawn. Our Sterilised Dressing has undergone heat treatment to remove weed seeds, so you can lay it as soon as it’s delivered.

Our Sterilised Dressing comprises 70% silica and 30% 3mm screened sandy soil. It creates a fine, dry, free-flowing top dressing that improves drainage and smooths out any divots.
As the name suggests, Sterilised Dressing is disease-free, weed-free, and free of pesticide contamination for the best results. It also meets the newly revised British Standard for topsoil BS 3882:2015, so you know you’re investing in the best for your lawn.
Our Sterilised Dressing is perfect for top dressing a lawn. Spread a thin layer after you aerate and overseed, then brush it in.
The fine-textured dressing fills small dips, smooths out bumps, and gives new seed a cosy bed to settle in. Our Sterilised Dressing is heat-treated so that you won't sow weeds alongside your grass.
Working to a tighter budget? Our Topsoil is a great, cheaper alternative. It's a sandy loam that works well for lawn top dressing too, so you still get a lovely, level lawn for a little less. It isn't heat treated, so it's best for everyday garden lawns rather than fine or ornamental ones.
We deliver our Sterilised Dressing in 1000 kg bulk bags. One bulk bag covers approximately 100m2 to 250m2, depending on the application depth.

No. When you place your order, provide as much information as possible about where to leave your order, and our drivers will follow your instructions.
Topsoil is slightly heavier and used as a foundation layer when laying turf. Its composition helps young roots establish in existing soil. Sterilised Dressing is much finer, with a sandy texture. This makes it ideal for levelling uneven lawns and filling divots with minimal disturbance.
For the best results, we recommend you apply our Sterilised Dressing post aeration and seeding of your lawn. This will help the top dressing seep into the soil’s profile while protecting any seeds.
Apply your sterilised top dressing onto a flat surface (rake beforehand if needed) and let it settle into the soil.
Each bulk bag will cover in excess of 100m2 and up to 250m2 depending on the depth of application.
Thanks to its fine texture and free-draining qualities, Sterilised Lawn Dressing works brilliantly across a range of turf types and lawns.
