lawn top dressing

[hedgerow pete]

I want to level up the lumps and bumps to the postage stamp lawn in the back garden.

well not so much solid lawn as tuffs of grass the dogs have yet to dig up!

any way I have seen several times over the years that people have spread " sandy soil" and brushed and rollered it in to make it all level again.

also is it a spring job or a winter job?

I was also thinking of just spraying the lot with round up throwing on a couple of one ton bags of top soil and just laying new tuff.

but then again the dogs would proberly just roll it back up again

top dressing only really used on lawns that are not too bad to start with. If my vision of your garden is correct you would be better doing the turf, but it would need the dogs kept off it till it roots in.

I seeded a lawn with the canadian stuff vaunted a few years ago
I grows out of all proportion but resists my bitch piddling all over it
My other two lawns sporting conventional grasses need half the cutting but the back lawn has been ruined over the years but surprisingly it appears to be improving as resistant grasses are taking over
Cue Brossy telling me to leave my bees to their own devices
