TopDressing for Your Lawn
TOPDRESSING LAWN:
Top dressing is an application of organic compost or a blend of soil/compost onto an existing turf. We use organic compost from your local Lawn Landscape Supply and/or Mirimichi Green CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer materials for top dressing your lawn. A soil amendment is any material added to a soil to improve its physical properties, such as water retention, permeability, water infiltration, drainage, aeration, and structure. The goal is to provide a better environment for roots.
Healthy plants start with healthy soil. CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer is a soil amendment that helps plants thrive by improving the efficiency of the soil. CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer is composed of CarboMatrix™ Technology. The activated carbon (biochar) inoculated with premium organics remain in the soil to reduce compaction, drive root growth, increase fertility and water absorption, and decrease nutrient leaching.
Top Dressing with Mirimichi Green Products is offered year-round.
We use Mirimichi Green CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer material for top dressing your lawn to:
Reduces water needs
Aerates soils and redueces compaction
Optimizes fertilizer and chemical inputs
Optimizes pH
Increases nutrient uptake (CEC - Cation Exchange Capacity)
Provides permanent home for biology
Sustainable, natural, and safe
CarbonizPN is a soil amendment blend of proprietary activated biochar (USDA Certified Biobased Carbon) and Composted Premium Organic Material.
We recommend combining Core Aeration + CarbonizPN + Fertilizer for Optimal results.
TOPDRESSING TO HELP LEVEL YOUR LAWN:
If your lawn is “true sand” it is best to use Organic Compost in addition to the CarbonizPN to topdress & level your lawn.
Note: It takes more than topdressing once as this is NOT a 1st time fix.
We recommend at 1/4" - 1/2" at each application and wait 2-3 months before applying the 2nd, 3rd application, 4th application.
Keep re-applying organic compost every 2-3 months until you reach the level desired.
Other reasons of using Organic Compost are increasing CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) and potential for better adjusting Soil pH to create a better environment for plants.
Charleston home sites that may flood or hold water more if they were built on marsh/muck soil it is recommended to use Sand to help level the lawn.

CarbonizPN® Soil Enhancer by Mirimichi Green
Soil Amendment - Granular Soil Enhancer
Healthy plants start with healthy soil.
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer is a soil amendment that helps plants thrive by improving the efficiency of the soil. CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer is composed of CarboMatrix™ Technology. The activated carbon (biochar) inoculated with premium organics remain in the soil to reduce compaction, drive root growth, increase fertility and water absorption, and decrease nutrient leaching.
Soils are often depleted of a well-balanced nutrient makeup. The USDA Certified Biobased Carbon (biochar) in CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer works to lockup heavy metals and unleash the macronutrients and micronutrients trapped in the soil and make them available to the root system. By adding CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer into the soil profile, beneficial microorganisms can create a home in the carbon structure and enhance the soil biology complex.
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer is excellent for: establishing turf, new seed, topdressing, sod installations, hydroseeding, potted plants and plant beds, tree and shrubs, nurseries, gardens, and more.
Note: Due to the product’s consistency, walk-behind spreaders do not perform well and often clog so they are not recommended.

Learn what makes plants grow and how you can cultivate a thriving, sustainable garden – the natural way. “Life in the Soil” explains the science behind healthy soil. Microbes, like bacteria and fungi, provide essential nutrients that help plants grow. However, human activity can deplete the soil of these valuable microbes. Planting with certified organic soils and amendments helps restore the symbiotic relationship between plants and the environment, which stimulates growth.
Conserve Time & Resources With These 4 Tips:
1.) Think Organically – Using certified organic materials promotes growth naturally.
2.) Plant Native – Planting native plants encourages ecological balance with the area.
3.) Strive for 5 – Using 5% organic matter in soil promotes microbe growth and improves soil structure, as recommended by the U.S. Composting Council.
4.) 3 saves 30 – Placing 3 inches of nutrient-rich organic mulch matter on top of your soil garden beds can conserve up to 30% more water.
