Scarifying
Scarifying removes the build-up of thatch and dead organic material that can choke a lawn.
Over time, a layer of dead grass, moss and organic debris (thatch) can build up at the base of the lawn. Scarifying lifts and removes this material, opening up the surface of the turf.
Once the surface is opened up, air, water and nutrients can move into the soil more easily, giving the grass the best chance to recover and grow.
Benefits
- Improves air, water and nutrient movement into the soil
- Encourages healthier, more vigorous grass growth
- Improves the overall condition and appearance of the lawn
- Creates a good surface for overseeding
When you may need it
- The lawn feels spongy underfoot
- Water runs off rather than soaking in
- Moss and dead material are building up
- Grass is thin despite regular care
