Your size lots are alot like mine...1/4 - 1/5 many smaller.
The thing with compost topdressing is the time involved. Although I know exactly what you mean about leveling the lawns. I can't stand holes....I actualy spring or fall take screened topsoil with us and fill in holes and level off reasonable size depressions. Couple shovels we don't charge.....Wheel barrow we had a nominal fee.
I am currently a full listing of applications. I have never blanket sprayed for weeds. CGpreventer in spring same as you. Surface and below surface insecticide applications and fungicide apps.
Last summer was the first year we mulched grass clippings for all the properties we maintain...Lost only 2 cause of it. I am looking to ease up the dependency of all the chemical applications that we do.
Not sure of going completely organic or a hybrid program. Probably a hybrid....It would kill me to have to do extensive reseeding due to some odd grub problem. After so many years of not having to.....Same goes for funguses.....I would like to cut back to 1 application instead of 2.........and reduce fertilizer apps from spoon feeding 5x to 4.
What ever it is I do I have to maintain the extreme level of perfection in turf that I have had all along.
