Lawn scarification is the mechanical reduction of surface thatch from a lawn. Thatch is organic matter that naturally forms on a lawn however, when it gets too thick it suffocates the roots of your lawn and encourages weeds, moss and lawn diseases.
When carrying out lawn scarification we use a professional lawn scarifying machine which slices the thatch and moss, extracting it from the lawn allowing space for necessary elements such as water, air and fertilisers to reach the grass roots creating a healthier lawn.
Scarifying a lawn doesn’t remove all of the surface thatch in one go. Doing this would significantly reduce the amount of grass left on a lawn and this would be harmful. There is an art to scarifying a lawn and we recognise that all lawns are different, and this is reflected in our lawn scarification process.
