| I'm in Atlanta and have a Zoysia lawn that was sodded last summer.
Unfortunately, it isn't very smooth, so it needs to be top-dressed. I know
better than to use sand - I'll use a soil blend similar to the soil in the
yard... No problem there.
My thoughts are to do this chore just as the grass is beginning to emerge
from dormancy - probably sometime in April.
Is there a better time?

Sounds good to me, that's when we tend to do such things. I would over
seed at the same time to thicken up the lawn and to speed up the return of
the lawn in the top dressed areas.
