Top dressing can be done to home lawns as well, provided you have bermuda, zoysia, or perennial rye grass. The lawn must be first scalped and I suggest a power raking. Then a 1/4 -1/2 inch top dressing of sand. River sand being the most ideal, but silica sand will suffice. Push it around with brooms and work it into the lawn. Then fertilize with a heavy nitrogen fertilzer and you will have a beatuiful lawn. No amount of aeration or compost top dressings will level a lawn or decompose thatch.
Typically you dont see fertilizer mixed in with the sand because the sand/fert will have to mixed perfectly and applied at a very consist rate in order to achieve a uniform growth and appearance. Golf Course Superintendents like to a pre application of fertilizer about 2-3 days before the aeration. Some prefer to do it after.
I do. Its a green that has been aerated. The soil cores have been removed. This is a sand top dressing that get spread over the green. Next they will brush it into the holes to fill them back up so the green is some what smooth again. (If you look closely you can see the small holes in the green as he drives across it. Once they are done working loose sand back into the aerated holes they will water the green to help work the sand down into the ground a bit more.
Golf greens are aerated periodically. Thumb-sized plugs of turf are pulled from the greens to allow relief from soil compaction, and to allow air, water and nutrients into the root zone. Topdressing sand is then applied and drug in with brushes or a drag mat to fill in the holes. Topdressing may also be applied without aerating, just to smooth out a green. That's a brief answer to what is topdressing.
You punch the holes to reduce the thatch layer. You fill the holes with fresh sand to help with drainage. There are lots of other advantages to it, such as reducing anaerobic bacteria. We do it twice a year. Some courses with all the money do it more. Some also put sand down frequently, as often as every other week.
our course we sand the greens like 5 times in a season... and then 2 days after dressing the head greenkeeper orders me to mow the greens... you can all guess how the green mower blades looked like after mowing sandy greens :D
By looking at the holes in the field, they just vertidrained the grass. This basically means they made vertical holes with a machine. Now they add sand to fill up the holes. (the sand will flow into the holes when it rains) So the topsoil will let water flow through more easily.
Oh heck no !! When insomnia hits, I'm watching videos on heavy duty road building equipment, farming equipment, big 6x6 offroad trucks, giant snowplows, heavy duty turf cutting .. and .. lawnmovers. Or, best of all ... home made tractors and/or garden machines, from the east block. Especially those small homesteads - those are just the bees knees for me when I hit the weird hours, I have no idea why. :D Homebuildt stuff : /watch?v=ANIoy7NZjX4 "Offroading" .. on the road : /watch?v=gPyDUljwdLo

I believe the course maintenance crew Aerifed the greens recently, they use this sand to fill in the small holes which were quite visible to the left side of the Cushman. They Aerifed the greens because it promotes growth, due to the greens being trampled and compressed. They fill it in with sand so the grass can expand and so the green becomes "softer" and better to play on.
The sand is to provide a cover to the root system so that only the blades of grass are above the sand. Next, the sand will be worked in with a drag mat or the like. It produces a more even and "pretty" surface.
it's spreading sand (& possibly fertiliser) onto a turfed area that has been cored & maybe scarified. it's a greenkeeping procedure... refreshing old soil

aerifying promotes root growth and the removal of thatch as well as keeping the make up of the green sand( which will keep them firm) Some Superintendents like to apply an extremely light dusting of sand on their green every two weeks to them firm and the least amount of thatch. Following the aeration process a granular fertilizer or liquid application is typically applied.
first you you go over with hollow core tines which release carbon dioxide and replaces with oxygen which help the routes and greens up the lawns, then you go over a top dress which can be a mixture of sand soil and seed to fill in the holes.
Top dressing is sand, and sometimes mixed with soil. It is to improve the lawn (or golf course) to handle more wear and tear. By adding sand now and then you will increase the porosity of the soil. When lawn is used a lot the soil will not be as compacted and the roots will still get air and water. It will also drain better. Downside is that you need more irregation and nutrition.

+Нестор Махно clay soil hold nutriments real good but has pore water absorption sand has great water absorption but sucks at holding nutriment so to get the best of both worlds they ass sand that will fill the Aeration holes and mix with the clay
it stops the grass from thatching by preventing heat and moister getting to the grass and to the guy that said it's wood it's not it's a mix of sand and fertilizer

this thing-a-magig sure does something, and does it well, I would imagine. Heavens I have yet to see another like it, what ever it is.
Its just called a top dresser
Can u use triple mix soil or just sand?
How much did that machine cost?
From League of Legends, to 80W lasers, then Coheed and Cambria, then this. Insomnia, i love you.
Cool machine, is it spreading fertilizer for the grass?
What a great way to apply soil amendments! But I would bet that those little machines are very expensive. :)

cool and nice
I have to study for an exam, but instead im watching this.
Nice colors.
What flavour is the top dressing?
this is still better than studying for my soils exam
That's a standard a golf courses. They first aerate the lawn and then they fill the holes with sand. The grass will have more space to grow.

Actually it wont kill the turf (grass). its a necessary part of airifying turf

Nope, I'm confused too.n I would like one of those rascals for my road in the winter though.
How is this so interesting!? I could be solving equations, but instead I find joy in watching this..
wtf :D i am sure , 95 % of viewers were lost in youtube

Is that gypsum?
lol that's cool, thanks for posting
wow top dressing is so fun.
It kinda looks like a golf course, at least I had that feeling at 40ish second, there's a pole, and a pond..
it's spreading sand (& possibly fertiliser) onto a turfed area that has been cored & maybe scarified. it's a greenkeeping procedure... refreshing old soil
why? doesn't sand prevent grass from growing?
to a degree, yes. if the area is cored, adding sand will help surface drainage
I know it , I know it!!!

Nice

how did i get here?
+al whits LOOL
+al whits me too :)
I start by watching a pumpkin carving video after half an hour i end up here
Yeah I was just watching Vietnamese Spring roll making, now top dressing? huh
al whits s5€$$€/^$$
SCARECROW, TIN MAN, COWARDLY LION, TODO! TO ME!
I think that is synthetic grass and hes adding sand to it which holds the synthetic grass down and after he will put those little black rubber pellets
I liked the bit where the sand came out
Why does this have 4 MILLIONS views?

Tom Jacobs you mean 5.95 million now? lol no idea

what is that stuff?
They are top dressing the greens with sand after aerating. They'll go back over it with a drag mat to fill all of the holes with the sand.
if i had to guess i would say preparing for the winter
That's quite helpful. So, what's the point of aerating if it's just packed down with sand again?
sand doesn't pack
I live in Toronto, we top dress residential and commercial lawns with triple mix. I'm not talking about golf courses.
It's called top dressing. Sand is spread on a green to make it level.
no man ,you are not alone
It doesn't kill the grass, and it is smart. See my previous comment as to why.
A brilliant video. Too bad I couldn't hear the motor.
its for the beach volley ball at the country club to attract younger members.
from dubstep to this
the harlem shake! xD
It's the yellow sprinkles you put on the green stuff.

Can somebody help me out...... I appear to have taken a wrong turn.
magic...
i used to work at a golf course looks like their airateing the greens. ya i know i spelled that wrong
is that what they are doing ?
is that grass seed? ccaauusssseeee if it is, he umm, he, ummm,, he must be new to taking care of his lawn
It's sand. It serves as a top dressing (title) for the greens on golf courses.
des Gerät sieht praktisch aus
no. i think the driver doesn't either. ;-)
it stops the grass from thatching by preventing heat and moister getting to the grass and to the guy that said it's wood it's not it's a mix of sand and fertilizer
0:26 amazing...
I came here for educational purposes.
I asked myself the same question :S
Gb
how do i get lawn like that.... :(
No your not... I feel the same way.
So this is what Regis Philbin is doing in his retirement.
why are they building bunkers??
This is a professional care of grass...
golf course green + aerating + fill in holes with green sand = what he is doing.
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
video trip
So I realized I'm not the only one who got lost in TH-cam.
me too having no idea how I end up here watching this crap
isn't is also to do with drainage ?
it kinda looks like he going to drive into the pond at the end
yea im a greenkeeper and that comment by him definitely made my day :)
"how to ruin a golf course"
It's actually going to improve the golf course dipshit. Top dressing greens is standard procedure.
wyzade
Ive played golf 2-3 times in my life now and i have never seen a green whit sand on. no offense
step 1: Aerate (punch holes)
step 2: Top Dress (drop sand)
step 3: Drag carpet (drag a carpet behind a light vehicle to get the sand in the ground) Also, our goal as greens keepers is to never let you play through a hole that is still being worked on, so with a good crew, you'll never know they were even there, other than the fact that the course is maintained.
