Sanding the lawn correctly in 5 steps
To get the best results from sanding the lawn and really help the soil, you shouldn't just sprinkle the sand on the lawn. That won't help, of course.
Ideally, you should proceed in the following steps:
✔ Mowing the lawn short✔ Scarifying (or even aerate)
✔ Thoroughly remove thatch (if necessary, use a rotary mower with a good suction effect again)
✔ Spread the sand roughly on the lawn and then use the Landscape rake distribute
✔ With the Rasenrakel Work the sand into the surface
By now at the latest, your lawn will look so scary that tears will well up in your eyes and you will doubt your decision. But you'll see the results after just two weeks:
Gradually (approx. 14 days), the sand will seep into the underlying soil and, through this loosening (because, to put it simply, small cavities are created everywhere between the grains of sand), provide natural drainage and more oxygen in the root area of the lawn. The more often you repeat sanding, the faster you will achieve even better results and gently level your lawn.
