2017 Lawn thread
Discussion
Following last year's thread, I thought I would start a new one for 2017.
I scarified my lawn at the end of 2015 and removed loads of thatch, and after a bit of over-seeding it came back really well during the summer. Is there anything I should be considering between now and the growing season? It's never been aerated/spiked so perhaps I should consider doing that?

Cut the lawn this morning then thought I would give it a rake but gave up after about 10 minutes as it was hard going....had a look at one of these raker/scarifiers today and it seems to get good reviews - any thoughts?

There's a 60quid one in Lidl if you're quick. Probably a similar quality, healthy warranty.http://www.diy.com/departments/mac-allister-msrp18...
I've been out of our house for the last two months (holiday lets) and have only been able to cut the grass between guests; tomorrow we move back and I've ordered a bulk bag of top dressing, some quality seed from Lawnsmith and my friend has dropped off a massive cast iron roller. I plan to reshape the lawn to give wider borders, then cut and scarify, seed and top dress (never used top dressing before so any pointers would be gratefully received). Will post up some before and after shots.
