hi
we moved to this house last year and the lawn is very lumpy. visually it looks fine - evenly covered with good grass, but when you walk on it it feels like you are walking on stones/rocks under grass!
ive had a good look and there are no stones, but close up the grass is patchy and in tufts with small areas of exposed soil around a tuft. i think the problem may have arisen where the previous owner has let leaves fall onto the lawn and not cleared them as the soil patches tend to have decomposed leaves on them.
for the last year we have been weekly clearing leaves and raking the grass but its still lumpy underfoot. its bl**dy hard work raking as the lawn is quite large.
what can i do to get the lawn smooth and even to walk on?
