For areas that are particularly bumpy, you can use a half moon edging iron (or a spade if you don’t have one) and shave the ground level.

It allows you to maintain a true and level lawn surface by filling in any imperfections or hollow areas to create a smooth surface which makes sowing a new lawn not only easier but will create a much better looking lawn. It also helps to dilute the thatch layers, assisting in their natural breakdown and preventing them from building up.Suspendisse varius, lacus id ullamcorper volutpat, metus leo pulvinar dui, sit amet condimentum urna erat vel ipsum.

This season is a good time to think about how you are going to care for your perfect lawn come spring. Plan any changes to your lawn during the winter so that you’re ready for when the temperature outside increases. As long as the weather conditions are not extremely hot and dry (see below for drought management), continue to mow regularly – weekly if possible. Scarification removes the build up of debris in the lawn (known as ‘thatch’) and aeration creates small holes in the lawn, allowing air circulation and drainage.
