What types of lawn can you top dress

The only types of lawns which are normally top dressed are running lawns like Couch and Kikuyu and also to a point Buffalo.  These are all types of lawn which will run into the top dressed areas or growth through it.  For other types of lawn like Fesues and Rye grass (basically most seed grown lawns) it is best not to top dress them, but use other approaches.   Fescues and Rye grass are tufting types of lawn,  they do not spread by runners.  This means that if you do have a dip in your lawn which you have top dressed, you will need to re-seed or replant the spot where you top-dress..
