Earth Kind Services vs. Grassperson: 2 Topdressing Services in The DFW Area

As someone who wants a thick and healthy lawn, you’re probably always interested in what lawn care services will help. Topdressing a lawn is a great way to get the best lawn on the block.

Top dressing a lawn involves spreading a thin layer of organic compost over the surface. We like to topdress lawns with a high-quality, composed material that adds valuable microbial activity to the soil. Topdressing can both fill in bare spots (making your lawn more even), while also helping improve your soil health. 

It’s also particularly valuable after seeding when you want to give your new grass the best chance at germination and healthy growth. Top dressing helps get your new growth off to a great start.

When it comes to choosing a top dressing service in North Texas, you have options. One of the choices that you might have seen if searching for lawn top dressing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is Earth Kind Services.

This is a quality company that we see as a solid competitor. But there are some differences between Earth Kind Services vs Grassperson. In this article, we’ll compare the two so that you can make the choice that is best for you.

Who Are Earth Kind Services?

Earth Kind Services is a top dressing company based in Denton. While that’s their specialty (and where they got their start), they have expanded into lawn leveling, organic fertilization, over-seeding, and mulching for flower and garden beds.  

This is a family-owned business (like ours, which we have a lot of respect for) and we can see they have built a lot of goodwill with their clients. 

They have good reviews and clearly do a good job. We have a lot of respect for this local company and love having high-quality competitors. We think it raises the bar for the industry as a whole and makes all of us better.

Earth Kind Services vs Grassperson

So, what’s the difference between Earth Kind Services vs. Grassperson?

The top dressing services offered by Earth Kind Services are similar to what Grassperson offers. However, the biggest difference is that Grassperson is also a full-service lawn care company that provides many other valuable services that you’ll need to get the best lawn on the block.

Services that Grassperson provides which are not offered by Earth Kind Services include:

  • Year-round fertilization and weed control

  • Core aeration

  • Dethatching

  • Mowing services (including scalping and bagging)

  • External pest control (including the control of fire ants, grubs, armyworms, moles, etc.)

  • Landscape bed maintenance (including pre and post-emergent control of weeds, shrub trimming, and mulching)

  • Sprinkler system maintenance, repair, and optimization 

  • Landscape design and installation

When comparing Earth Kind Services vs. Grassperson, the fact that we can offer all of these additional services is a major differentiator. 

Most people who care about having an amazing lawn are looking for (and need) a wide variety of services.

The truth is that you do require a full lawn care program to achieve the best results. Services like top dressing and fertilization are absolutely vital. But they also need to be paired with other lawn care services like weed control, irrigation, pest control, and core aeration (which we’ll talk about next).

That’s why you might want to consider a company that can offer it all.

The Importance of Pairing Core Aeration with a Top Dressing Service

At Grassperson, we also believe that a key to success with top dressing is core aeration, so we package these two services together. 

Core aeration involves the process of pulling cores of soil from the ground to break up compaction and let the lawn breathe. 


Then when we topdress the lawn, the material will fall into those holes where they can have a lot more impact.

Let’s look at our premium process of core aeration plus topdressing:

  1. We mark sprinkler heads to avoid any damage. Earth Kind Services does not offer this, since they do not perform aeration.

  2. We complete a double pass core aeration service, pulling cores of soil and helping the lawn breathe. 

  3. We apply organic fertilizer (Earth Kind Services does this).

  4. We complete either a single-pass or a double-pass of our top dressing service (Earth Kind Services does this too).

Worry-Free Total Landscape Maintenance

At Grassperson, we group our lawn care services into packages so that homeowners can feel confident that their lawn is getting everything it needs.

Total Maintenance includes everything that your property will need to look and function its best. That includes not only our lawn care services (fertilization, weed control, and pest control), but also weekly mowing, shrub care, irrigation, and more. We customize the program for you.

The popularity of this program shows us that many homeowners are looking for hassle-free, worry-free lawn services and property care. This goes beyond what Earth Kind Services offers.

Making Your Wise Choice in Lawn Care Companies in North Texas

As you complete your research, you will ultimately need to come to the decision of which company you want to hire. 

Whether you are looking at just Earth Kind Services vs. Grassperson, or you are considering other lawn care companies in North DFW as well, you ultimately want to go with the service that you feel is going to best meet your needs and not leave you back at square one, having to look for another provider.

While we believe that Earth Kind Services does a great job with the services they provide, we think that for many homeowners it won’t be enough for what they need. As we’ve mentioned, the best lawns require a full list of lawn care services. 

At the end of the day, we want to see you happy with your choice. After all, when it comes to having the best lawn on the block, you can accept nothing less than the best. If we can answer any more questions for you, we’re always here to help! No matter which service you choose in the end, we want you to be pleased with your results.
