FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 16, 2026 – Upland, California

As spring arrives in the Inland Empire and homeowners in Upland and surrounding San Bernardino County areas begin revitalizing their lawns, gardens, and landscapes after the cooler months, Upland Site Materials (uplandsitematerials.com) is pleased to launch a special promotion on premium topsoil to support a successful season start.

In Southern California’s warm, Mediterranean climate—with mild winters and hot, dry summers—early spring is an optimal time for topdressing lawns, leveling uneven spots from winter rains or settling, overseeding, and enhancing soil quality for improved drainage, nutrient retention, and drought resistance. This timing helps warm-season grasses (like Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, or St. Augustine, common in the region) emerge strongly, while also benefiting cool-season options like tall fescue in transitional or shadier spots, promoting deep roots and resilience through the intense summer heat.

To make it easier for local residents, landscapers, and contractors to prepare, we’re offering 10% off all topsoil orders with the promo code WINTER26 at checkout on uplandsitematerials.com. This discount applies to our high-quality, screened topsoil – ideal for residential lawns, garden beds, landscaping projects, new sod preparation, and more – delivered directly to your home or job site in the Upland area.

“Spring sets the tone for a thriving yard all year, especially in our hot, dry climate where good soil makes all the difference,” said Tyler (aka Sand Man), Media Contact at Upland Site Materials. “Our topsoil provides the rich, clean base you need for healthy growth. Take advantage of this 10% off deal to get your projects underway affordably!”

Topsoil Application Techniques for Lawns (Topdressing Methods) Topdressing (applying a thin layer of topsoil or a soil/compost mix) is a simple yet effective way to improve lawn health. Here’s a step-by-step guide to best practices:

1. Timing — Apply in early to mid-spring when grass is actively growing and greening up (after the last frost risk, typically March–April in Southern California). Avoid applying during extreme heat or when the lawn is dormant.
2. Preparation — Mow the lawn short (about 1–2 inches lower than usual). Core aerate first if the soil is compacted—this creates holes for better material incorporation and root access. Remove debris and dethatch if needed.
3. Material Choice — Use screened topsoil, or better yet a blend of topsoil/compost/sand (e.g., 50/50 topsoil and compost for organic benefits). Match it closely to your existing soil to prevent layering issues.
4. Application Rate — Spread a thin layer: ¼–½ inch max (about 0.5–1 cubic yard per 1,000 sq ft). Thicker layers can smother grass.
5. Spreading Methods —
   • Shovel and Wheelbarrow: Dump small piles evenly across the lawn, then spread with a shovel or the back of a rake.
   • Broadcast Spreader: For larger areas, use a push or tow-behind spreader for uniform distribution.
   • Dry Method (most common): Spread dry material and rake/brush it in.
   • Wet Method (for even coverage): Mix with water into a slurry and apply with a hose-end sprayer (less common for topsoil).
6. Finishing — Lightly rake or drag a mat/chain-link fence section to work the material down into the grass and soil without burying blades. Overseed bare spots before or right after topdressing for best results. Water gently to settle it in, then maintain normal irrigation.
7. Tips — Apply in stages if needed for heavy leveling. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the material settles. Combine with fertilization or overseeding for maximum benefits.
