can i put topsoil over grass and reseed

Hello! Yes, it's absolutely possible to put topsoil over your existing lawn and reseed it. This process is often referred to as 'overseeding', and can help to boost your lawn's overall health and appearance.

Definitely! First, you'd want to mow your lawn to a lower height than usual. After mowing, spread about 1/4'' to 1/2'' of topsoil in the necessary areas, ensuring that you don't bury the existing grass - you want it to peer through the fresh soil. Afterwards, spread the new grass seed evenly across the soil, gently rake it to mix the seeds with the topsoil, and water it regularly but moderately. The key is to keep the seed moist, not drowned, to let it establish a good root system.

It's best to use a high-quality topsoil or a lawn soil for your reseeding process. These are often rich in nutrients and organic material which would help improve the health of your lawn. However, you may also consider a soil test first to determine what nutrients your lawn lacks so you can choose a topsoil with those specific nutrients.
