Great to see a professional doing things well. Scalped and scarified my lawn a month ago, did the feed and seed all over two weeks ago and oversown thin patches with seed and top dressed them this morning. I am in West Midlands with a really difficult lawn in total shade all the time at one end and baking sun at the other. It is still a bit cool here in the mornings, but the grass has really started growing now in teh last fortnight and going to get feed and care all summer. Now I just have to get the nematodes sorted to kill the leatherjackets.

I'm SE Canada much farther south compared to you but it seems to be a similar climate to you. That's a good point about disease if you mix together a lot of seed. I've done that thinking it gives it more of a chance since it seems like only 1% of the seed grows. I bought a SunJoe scarifier and it's made a big difference in only one season. Top dress is hard to find in my region compost by the bag would bankrupt me even for my 20'x20' yard.

Last question if i can. I have slight undulations in my lawn. Its roughly 50m², to try and get some sort of better level. Would using a mix of 70/30 mixed with the field compost do the trick. If not what would you suggest. Thanks again

Maybe every so slightly if you take too much off and hit the soil but i dont tend to go that short

Flat head screw driver under the roots whilst pulling the plant from the base works very well and rarely removes the surrounding turf grass. This fork method seems a bit destructive.
