Lawncare

I  put down some Four in One on my lawn 2 weeks ago.

The grass now needs cutting and according to the instructions I should now be scarifying the lawn.

Should I cut the lawn before I scarify or the other way round?

Thanks for your input.

    I usually cut before scarifying (not always immediately before but within a couple of days) and again after.. Before so that the scarifier (or rake if you're doing it by hand) isn't pulling at long-ish grass, and after because the scarifying leaves long bits of stems/stolons sticking up and it looks better after it's been cut again.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
