Scarify and aerate Lawns
Posted on 19th April 2023 at 11:55
Lawns can suffer from compaction after winter, causing grass to become yellow and weeds to grow. Scarification and aeration are vital in rejuvenating lawns and getting them in prime condition for the season ahead. Scarifying removes any thatch and unwanted debris from the grass roots while aerating perforates the soil with small holes – both of which allow air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots, encouraging strong, vibrant growth.
A scarifier may be needed if a manual rake is not up to the job as they can easily remove unwanted debris, as steel blades propel forward and collect the thatch and moss as it moves. Aerators have sharp, hollow tines that extract soil, leaving small neat holes that easily welcome vital nutrients, air and water in.
You can achieve this by either using a push along Scarifier or if you have a Ride-on Mower with a towed scarifier/aerator or if you have an Allett lawnmower using an Aerator or Scarifier Quick Change Cartridge.
