Scarify or level my lawn?
Hello, everyone, I need you GW knowledge because I have none!
My Lawn is lumpy, it was a new build and the ground hadn't settled when the lawn went in, it's been 3 years now and I want to level it out now however it is also heavily thatched with moss and other weeds, I have read that I cannot scarify the lawn over the summer months and am to wait until the Autumn to do so, should I get to work on leveling the lawn now and then Scrarify in the Autumn or should I scarify in the Autumn but wait to level the lawn next year, I'm worried that if I level the lawn with the thatch in it might make it worse somehow or prevent me from scarifying until next year.
Thanks in advance,
Duncan

How big is it?
If you do a hard scarify, then bring in a fair few tons of topsoil to dress it with, apply lots of fresh seed, then spend next season cutting it with a heavy roller mower it'll be much better.
