If your lawn isn’t quite as level as you’d like, you’ve got to try topdressing your yard! Applying topdressing is a great way to smooth out any low or uneven spots and get a nice polished look for your grass. It’s one of the best ways to ensure long term soil & grass health, and the results always look amazing.
In this video, I’m going to show you just how easy it is to top dress your lawn with the ECO 250. This is important to do during the summertime, when the grass is actively growing.
Topdressing mix is a combination of sand and compost. The sand fills up all the empty spots; the compost adds organic fertilizer with beneficial microbes and also helps break down all that thatch material — brown/dead grass.
It’s time-consuming, backbreaking work to attempt to topdressing mix by hand. That’s why Grass Roots Yard Supply is excited to announce that the new ECO 250 Spreader machine is now available for rental at Grass Roots in Graniteville, SC! (Watch our website for rental information: https://www.grassrootsyardsupply.com/)
Whether applying compost, sand, soil or a custom blend to existing turf, the ECO 250’s superior maneuverability allows you to distribute bulk material in a 180-degree forward arc. The spread can range from 3 feet wide up to 18 feet wide! This machine makes topdressing quick, smooth and effortless.
Wondering how much topdressing you’ll need for your lawn? A good rule of thumb is estimating 1 ton for every per 1,000 sq. feet.
But first things first, we’ve got to cut our Empire Zoysia grass super short (almost but not quite scalping it) – about an inch and a half tall.

Glad you like your piece of machinery. Looks like it does a good job.
Why wouldn't you mechanically detach first? Great piece of equipment.
What is the overall width? (gate constraints)
Look for a Landzie leveling rake.
Making nervous standing infront of a running machine then stucking your hands in there poking around ive seen some crazy accidents with machines be careful with that in future friends
What a cool machine! That’s a man’s machine. I can just see my little 112 lb butt trying to maneuver that!😂 Enjoyed the video, as always!
