Lawn scarifying is when we use our specialized machine to remove the ‘thatch’ in your lawn.
Lawn ‘thatch’ is a layer of living and dead grass, plus a build up of organic matter, between the top of the soil and the blades of grass. It leaves your lawn feeling extremely ‘spongy’ and when mowed short, leaves it looking almost dead.
Scarifying is performed on more aggressive types of lawn, such as kikuyu, couch or buffalo grass, which have ‘runners’ or stolons.
By scarifying your lawn, it leaves it looking and feeling a lot more level and also allows water to penetrate the root system, meaning your lawn will look nice and green, even when mowed short.
If you want your lawns looking at their best, year-round, then scarifying is an absolute must.
