Lawn Scarification is a mechanical raking process that removes layers of thatch and dead moss from your lawn. Over time thatch will build up and if left it will increasingly restrict the penetration of water and nutrients and gradually suffocate the lawn.
With our lawn scarification service we are able to adjust the depth on the machine so that as much or little thatch and moss can be removed. This is a labour intensive job whereby the years of build-up and decline of your lawn can start to be undone. The lawn may look worse after the treatment but it is an essential part of a lawn care treatment plan, knowing when to scarify your lawn is important so if you are in the Birmingham, Redditch or Bromsgrove areas get in touch.
Scarification is recommended when the grass is actively growing to allow the lawn to recover quickly. We carry out the majority of lawn scarifications during early autumn - September and October; however we can also do them during the spring months as well.
Benefits of scarifying your lawn:
- Removes the organic matter from the surface of the lawn, helping it to breathe, absorb water and nutrients more easily
- Helps reduce moss ingress
- Stops it becoming spongy
- Controls thatch build up before it becomes a problem
