Woodside Manual 35cm Lawn/Grass Scarifier Aerator Rake with Non-slip Handle

Product Information

This layer can prevent water, oxygen and nutrients penetrating the ground and reaching the grass root. Scarifying is worth doing at least once a year – twice if you’re having to deal with a lot of moss, and the best scarifiers have different settings so you can adjust their height to avoid tearing up your lawn. No matter what type of machine is used, it is important to remove the parts of plants that have died off in winter, as they take away the light and air from the sprouting grass. If you want to achieve a healthy, lush garden lawn you’ll need to occasionally dethatch or rake the grass.

Overall a reliable more heavy-duty model which is designed to meet the demanding jobs of professional grounds maintenance.A scarifier is a manual or powered machine that has strong steel blades known as tines to remove moss and thatch from a lawn by penetrating into the surface of the lawn and pulling up the moss and thatch. It helps remove the buildup of dead organic matter, leading to better air, water and nutrient absorption.

I also like that is has a 4-stroke engine so its not as noisy as some of my other petrol garden tools with 2-stroke engines and easer to fuel and maintain.The Landzie 24 inch Compost Spreader and the Landzie 36 inch Lawn Level are now available for weekend hire. The best time to scarify your lawn is in Autumn after a long hard Summer, when the lawn has been used and is quite compacted. It’s important to note that if you find you have too much thatch, dead grass and moss infestations in your turf, you will need to scarify more intensely than you did during the spring. The Vonhaus 2-in-1 scarifier is a sturdy machine with a robust but lightweight plastic body, which weighs 16. However, depending on the extent of the moss invasion and debris, you may have to put up with seeing a bit of soil where larger clumps have been removed – if this is the case, simply sow some lawn seed in any areas of the lawn you’re concerned about.

A spring-tine rake is one option, as the sharp, hard tines will pull away moss and thatch, but it’s hard work and tiring, even on a small lawn. By doing this, you are enabling the soil to absorb more essential nutrients which promotes lawn growth.

This can be done manually with a lawn rake but this can be a time consuming and energy sapping task. Ultimately, I find it best to have an electric one if I want to go really deep and a manual one for when I just want to get rid of some thatch but not wreck the lawn completely – like I would before I’m about to do an overseed.
