At the very least I would say try and heavily rake before sowing
my new lawn has gone down a bit too well, i reckon im a few years off creating a wildflower meadow strip. the lawn looked good with the grass seed crop yesterday. this year i will leave a 2 foot uncut border on both flanks ultimately it becomes weaker and the soil becomes loose, them i can introduce different grass types (not too invasive) and wild flowers. Any future lawn treatment i will focus in the centre trimmed area. In time i will add bulbs and annuals to the wild border to generate more interest. I am just grateful that a lawn has been laid and we can enjoy the garden this summer. Also mindful that i want pollinators around. most gardens here are concreted over some with very little nature

I have been getting to get wild flowers going on my lawn and I have to say it's quite a struggle if you don't peel the lawn up at all and just sow seeds. I'm in my 4th year and only just getting some results (and mostly a mono culture tbh)
