    Our lawn seems to be bumpy and have large weeds growing in it. It also seems to have a layer of dead grass under the actual grass.
    Not sure if scarifying is a good option?

    Any help would be great

    Scarifying will remove the layer of dead grass. That will help your lawn but won't solve your bumpy or weed problems.

    Thank you.

    The lawn seems to of become bumpy over the last winter but for no reason. We also seem to have a lot more weeds. I dug out the weeds in the front garden but caused more of a problem as holes in the lawn. Have you got any suggestions with weeding or the bumps.

    Kind Regards
