I would suggest that the lawn is mowed first. This way the raking won't
break you back. We do it every so often and if you're going to do it by
hand, do it during the growing season, so that the grass has a chance to
recouperate.
If you're going to do it mechanically, I would definitely suggest between
April and September/October, again to allow for recouperation.
Check out our website for more information and I will be sure to updaye our
gardening section to include stuff about lawns (or green areas with clover (Trifolium L.)
and daisies in our case)
