About Scarification

What Is Scarification?

Scarification is the removal of moss, lawn
clippings and dead grass blades from the
stem of the grass to maintain a healthy
growing environment. It is intensive airing of
the lawn surface.
• Perfect for revitalising and reviving the most
tired and spongiest of lawns.
• It is important to do this because the lawn
gradually gets covered which results in a
reduced amount of oxygen getting to the
grass.
• The lawn will be able to absorb water better
and it prevents water logging.
• Ventilation is important so that the lawn can
absorb nutrients and it needs air to be able to
breathe.
How Does It Work?
Before Scarification
Over time, your lawn collects lawn clippings,
moss, etc. These create a seal and do not
allow water, air and nutrients into the root of
the grass.
During Scarification
Scarification removes moss, lawn clippings,
and dead grass blades from the stem of the
grass to maintain a healthy growing
environment.
After Scarification
After scarification, the lawn will be able to
absorb water and oxygen better. It will also
absorb nutrients and your lawn will be able to
breathe.

Scarification
The steel blades are specially designed to
remove moss, thatch and dead grass.
During use, the blades penetrate the ground
to ensure the lawn absorbs nutrients better.
Aerating
The rake rotates and during aeration, the
surface of the ground is scratched. This
improves water drainage and the absorption
of oxygen.
For Best Results
• For best results, your lawn should be
scarified every 4-6 weeks.
• We recommend scarifying the lawn in Spring
and Autumn.
• We recommend aerating the lawn during the
entire growing period.
