Lawns will
benefit from a good raking or scarifying at this time of the year. Also
take the time to aerating it using a garden fork or a hollow tine aerator.
Follow up by top dressing with a mixture made up of equal parts sand and
loam. Brush this well into the surface using a besom or garden broom.
Re-seed any bare patches
if needed.
If the grass is dry enough
and it needs a cut, do it now.
Repair any damaged areas
on the lawn.
Remove any thatch or
moss with a lawn rake or scarifyer.
Treat mossy areas by
aerating the soil with a garden fork and apply lawn sand or proprietary moss
killer.
