topdressing
This term is primarily used in horticulture, turf management, and agriculture. It refers to the specific act of adding materials to the surface of the ground without tilling or digging them in, distinguishing it from soil incorporation. The term carries a technical register and is common in professional landscaping and farming manuals.
As a noun, it can refer to both the physical material being spread (such as a sand-soil mix) and the process of applying that material. While it can be used in a countable sense when referring to different types of mixtures, it is most frequently used as an uncountable mass noun describing the general practice or the layer itself.
