Spring Lawn Care - Raking, Aerating & Top Dressing Although this small English garden in Norway is tiny, only 150 square metres, I've incorporated two small lawns into its design. They form the hearts of the West and East gardens and are a direct tribute to the front and rear lawns once so popular in England. I think the beautiful green grass provides a perfect backdrop and pleasing contrast to the blowzy cottage garden flowers I love. Apart from sound initial construction and regular mowing the most important lawn care procedures I use are Raking, Aerating & Top Dressing which I do as my main spring lawn care regime. The accompanying music, composed and played by me on my rather out-of-tune old piano, is called 'Norwegian Spring'.

Excellent tutorial and well briefed. buddy I am a beginner and am using your video as a source of inspiration. I hope you can be of help, I am soon about to top dress my lawn and will then be over seeding. Can you recommend of which one to do first? Many thanks in advance.

Excellent!

I have never seen a front bag mower.

Looks amazing - thanks for the tips !!

Nice! I have noticed that top dressing comes after aeration in your case. Can you tell how many days should one wait for the lawn to aerate properly (before pouring the top dressing layer and filling those fork holes) ?

Great advice.
