Mow the lawn a little lower than usual. Rake out any thatch and dead grass. If the soil is hard, water it the day before so the dressing can settle in.
\nChoose your dressing. A sandy loam or a ready-made top dressing mix suits most lawns. Washed sand alone suits sports turf and greens.
\n\nTip small piles of dressing across the area, a little more on the low spots. Small piles are easier to spread than one big heap.
\n\nHold the lute with the plate flat on the ground. Push it away from you and pull it back, in long, even strokes. The front and rear bars move the dressing off the high spots and the inner bars let it fall into the dips.
\nWork across the lawn in one direction, then across it again at a right angle. That second pass is what gets the surface truly level.
\n\nWhen you finish, you should still see the tips of the grass poking through. If the grass is buried, spread the dressing further. Keep each layer to about 10 mm.
\nDeep hollows need more than one round. Fill them part of the way, let the grass grow through, and add another thin layer a couple of weeks later.
\n\nGive the lawn a light watering. It settles the dressing down around the grass and helps it recover. Keep foot traffic off for a few days if you can.
\n\nThe same tool levels soil before you lay new turf, spreads sand under pavers and smooths gravel on a path or driveway. Stainless steel means it can take that kind of work.
