Yes

I inquired about getting topsoil from Clegg's and they said they only had river silt and that's what they "suggested" for my yard. Is there any reason why I wouldn't use this as a top dressing for current soil and for seeding a large bare section of my yard?

See all previous discussion. I’d ask them about the source and if there’s any treatment for potential [weed] seeds. It’s a great/ideal product for this purpose, but it comes at the risk of weed seeds. And potentially, most importantly, torpedo grass seeds.
