Maintaining a lawn is not just about mowing it regularly; it also means making sure it breathes, stays aerated, and remains dense. Scarifying your garden is not optional but an essential step to keep your grass green, dense, and resistant. Over time, repeated mowing, moss, and shallow roots create an impermeable layer of thatch that prevents water and nutrients from penetrating the soil. Thanks to the scarifier–lawn rake, this thatch is removed, allowing the soil to breathe again.
Why scarify?
Scarifying is especially recommended when the lawn looks dull, retains too much moisture, shows patches of moss, or no longer responds to fertilisers. A lawn that is never scarified eventually suffocates, paving the way for diseases, moss growth, and sparse regrowth.
When to scarify?
The best time to scarify is in spring (March to May) and in autumn (September to November), when the lawn is actively growing. The CHESTER electric scarifier–lawn rake is perfectly suited for this seasonal maintenance, thanks to its precise depth settings and design intended for regular use.
