You want a lawn that looks tidy, feels good underfoot, and stays healthy in UK weather. Rolawn Lawn Topdressing helps you do that with less stress. Blended in Yorkshire by turf specialists with over 50 years of experience, this sand-based, loamy mix boosts lawn health, evens out the surface, and supports better drainage.

Each bulk bag holds 500 litres, about 0.5m³, so you can cover up to 167m² at a 3 mm depth. That suits most small to medium UK gardens in one go.

Why your garden benefits from lawn topdressing

This topdressing works with your existing grass rather than smothering it. You spread a thin layer and work it into the sward. The result is a denser, more even lawn over time.

Key benefits for your garden include:

• Encourages fresh grass growth for a thicker, greener lawn.
• Levels minor dips and bumps so mowing feels smoother.
• Improves drainage thanks to its high sand content, which is helpful in wet UK seasons.
• Reduces compaction in busy areas where kids and pets play.
• Helps control thatch by filling gaps and supporting stronger roots.

The blend is friable with minimal stone content, so it rakes in easily. It is peat-free, which supports more responsible gardening across the UK.

Good for your lawn, kinder for UK wildlife

A healthy lawn does more than look tidy. It gives local wildlife a better place to feed and shelter. By improving soil structure and drainage, this topdressing helps your lawn support more life in the soil.

Stronger roots and better aeration encourage earthworms, beetles, and other invertebrates. They break down organic matter and create natural channels in the soil. Birds such as robins, blackbirds, and starlings rely on these creatures as food, so a healthier lawn can mean more visits from them.

When your lawn grows evenly, you leave fewer bare patches. You can also mix in seed that includes clover or other nectar-rich species if you wish. That gives bees and butterflies extra foraging spots alongside nearby flower beds. Because this product is peat-free, you also avoid damage to UK peatlands, which store carbon and support important wildlife habitats.

When and how you should apply it

Apply Rolawn Lawn Topdressing while the grass is actively growing. In the UK, that usually means spring or early autumn. Choose a dry day if you can.

Practical steps:

• Measure your lawn so you know how many litres you need. Aim for 3 litres per m².
• Tip small piles across the lawn by hand. This product is not suitable for spreaders.
• Use a rake or stiff brush to work the material into the grass so it sits between the blades.
• Keep the layer thin. Around 3 mm is enough for most lawns.
• Water lightly if conditions are very dry to help it settle.

Wear gloves while handling the product and wash your hands after use. The hooded bulk bag and inner polythene liner help keep the material dry and easy to use between jobs.
