Scarification

Scarification is completed with a powerful machine that removes the thatch layer and debris. This is crucial for healthy sward.

Lawn Master uses the latest pedestrian machines, that have bladed drums that revolve at very high speed to drag out the thatch layer from the lawn.

You may think you have a good lawn raker capable of doing this job similar to below. However Scarification should not be confused with lawn raking using a small DIY electric spring bladed machine can cause more damage than good, tearing salons and removing little thatch build up for the damage they cause.

Regular deep thatch removal will keep your lawn looking its best.

Our machines are very powerful with fixed blades or heavy flail reels.

Feeding of the lawn should not be continued over the top of a thatch layer, as this can lead to the plant taking in the feed via the leaf rather than the roots.

If you have a lawn that seems very spongy, then it may be a thatch problem. However, it could also be a feed problem, due to overfeeding with the wrong feed, for example. (Click here for fertiliser knowledge)

After Scarification you may wish to over seed with better quality cultivars.

If you think that you may have a thatch problem, that may require scarification, please obtain a free lawn analysis and quotation for this service.
