There are patches of highly compacted soil in my back yard that made grass grow in a spotty manner and those that do grow doesn't do well in summer. If I try to push a screw driver into these part, the screw driver will only go down about 1/4 of an inch. With the cooler temperature now, I'm thinking of fixing these patches.
I am planning to run a power rake over (a Sun Joe electric dethatcher) the area to rake up all the dead grass, and then break up the compacted soil with a EGO battery powered cultivator. Once done I'll add some topsoil, level the area with a level rake and put down new seed.
Does this sound like a good plan or should I do something else?
Thanks.
