I know a few people with artificial turf and I must say it is Amazing  :notworthy:
.......maybe one year when my enthusiasm for gardening abates.  :innocent:

Well Rich, in a nutshell..... Needs aeration, scarifying, fertiliser/weeding, overseeding and some top dressing applying to the small dips

 So not much really  :laugh:

Just need some expert advice on a plan of action and what products to use (fert/weeder, grass seed, top dressing)

Also, should I be adding sharp sand after aerating the lawn for better drainage?

garrardrj:
Lift the turf and put the extra soil under is my input on the dips. Use Verdone/Weedol to kill the weeds and use growmore to fertilise. Turf needs loads of water to thrive.
Scarifying is ok early season after killing the moss, but it will come back whatever you do to be honest. Aeration is probably not required unless there has been really heavy traffic over it cor several years.
