Hi Dellboy Normally this is done in Autumn then given an Autumn feed. However, there is no reason that you cannot do it now since the grass is now growing. Wait for approx three days after cutting then firstly I would put on some moss killer - lawn sand - do this when rain is forecast and follow directions. Wait untl moss turns black then scarify. Finally use a Feed and Weed fertilizer again when rain is forecast. Come the summer you should have a lovely green lawn. Cheers

Late spring is great, as long as the ground is dry and it's growing well. I'd go for mid/late April and May.
I do mine twice a year, spring and autumn, with occasional hand clearance of large moss invasions.
Good luck! Rob

Never scaryfy when the grass is not growing well.
May is a good time. (plenty soil moisture and not too hot.)
