This will remove and break up layers of dead matted grass and weeds. Spike the ground with a fork to a depth of 6 inches to eliminate compaction. Lastly top dress the lawn with a mix of sand, compost and loam. This will help denser growth and level out minor hollows. April - Where necessary apply a spring feed and start weed control. Where moss is a problem apply a moss killer. You may need to mow the lawn up to weekly. Good month for reseeding May - You will need to cut more often. Best month for weed control .Either dig out large weeds or spray off. June - Amount of cutting will depend on the weather.

Spike the ground as in the spring and consider applying a top dressing. October - Mowing will stop this month. Do not cut shorter than 1 inch. Take the opportunity to level out any bumps.
