How to Install 75/25 Top Soil

1. Prepare the Area
    Remove weeds, debris, and old grass. Lightly rake or loosen existing soil to help bonding.
2. Spread Evenly
    Apply soil at 2–4 inches deep for new lawns or 1–2 inches for top dressing and leveling.
3. Level and Grade
    Use a rake to smooth and create proper drainage away from structures.
4. Water Thoroughly
    Lightly water after installation to help the soil settle and activate compost nutrients.
5. Install Sod or Seed
    Lay sod immediately or seed within 24–48 hours for best results.
