Scarifier FAQs

What is a lawn scarifier?

A scarifier, also known as a dethatcher, removes dead grass, moss, and other dead organic matter from your lawn to improve its overall health and good looks! They use small tines to cut into the soil and pull up any debris it comes across.

When is the best time to scarify my lawn?

Early spring or early autumn are good times to scarify the lawn, so the grass has a chance to recover whilst it’s still growing.

How often should I scarify my lawn?

Most lawns only need to be scarified once a year, but if your lawn is in particularly bad shape, you may need to do it more often.

Will scarifying damage my lawn?

Depending on the state of your lawn, scarifying could make it look a little sad by pulling up moss and creating bald spots that weren’t there before, but don’t worry – if you follow our tips on post-scarifying care, your lawn will come back better and greener than ever before. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better!
