The Customer had a front and side lawn that were super lumpy and the side lawn had a few spots where the ground had sunk from foot traffic.

I mowed the lawn short first, and then ran the dethatcher over the lawn. After raking the debris into the trailer I filled the low spots with soil and then spread seed and fertilizer and used a lawn roller to compact the new dirt and press the seed and fertilizer into the ground for improved germination.
