Hello!

I’m new here! I have a tired front & back lawn and I would
like to Overseed(I think that’s the word) as it has sparse
patches and moss and some weeds that sprout out like in a
star pattern?!

Umm I'm a novice and would love to hear your thoughts
on overseeding with say "canada Green" which according to
the hype crowds out the weeds and estabs. itself fast with
a good dark green lawn?

Also is it okay to do the Overseeding Now? or should it
be done in autumn?

I have never aerated the Lawn before and have seen two
tools that could do the job- the Lawn Aerator Sandals or
the roller with spring loaded spikes. Which one is better and
easier to use?

Can you please tell me if this plan of action is right?

To cut the lawn to the shortest height.
Attempt to remove weeds/moss.
Aerate the lawn.
Add sand/soil to top of lawn?(is reg soil/sand ok?)
Fertilise Lawn.(what would you recommend?)
Wait 4-5 days then Overseed.
Water if no rain in 2 days?
Keep lawn watered and no walking on it.

Oh yes and the Soil has allot of clay under about 1-1.5ft depth.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks for your time
Kev
