I don't have a leveling rake to spread the sand so I used a Bow Rake turned upside down with the tines facing up. I've got 5 5-gallon HD buckets of sand left over than I can further fill in low spots.
Any tips from yard pro's highly welcomed! Unfortunately, I do not get full sun due to large trees so it grows slowly after mowing.

UDATE: So, 6 days after aerating, scalping, top dressing with sand and spreading lime I raised the cutting height 1 notch above my scalping height and mowed using the reel mower with the steel roller. Noticeably smoother rolling after sand leveling. Very encouraged!
