Should I topdress the lawn?
How often can I do it?
You can topdress your lawn without causing serious short-term problems twice a year. The lawn can be topdressed in both spring and fall, but the spring topdressing exposes a bare growth medium to weed seeds. You'll get plenty of benefit and few of the problems with a once annual topdressing in the fall. Benefits are improved if you precede the topdressing with a core aeration.
