And this is where you’ll need a good quality lawn scarifier, especially if your grass is very mossy. All the raked thatch and other debris goes into a large 40-litre collection box which is easily detachable for emptying into your compost pile or bin. By re-seeding areas which have become bare during the scarifying process not only will your lawn look thicker and more attractive, it helps to prevent weeds and moss growing in those areas. Scarifies and aerates without having to change cassettes or rakes is a convenience most other dual function rakes don’t have. At the same time, it can brush the grass, which is suitable when you want to significantly cut the lawn.

If the grass is looking thin or patchy post scarifying, a lawn fertiliser will help encourage healthy, vigorous growth. If the lawn is growing in heavy soil, spread a layer of building sand about 2 cm thick after scarifying. A couple of weeks later, I always go over the lawn on the second height setting to give it another less aggressive once over.Once or twice a year, a lawn also needs exfoliating care, so that it will appear and grow full of splendour even in spring. This is good for the soil and the plant, which, in addition to the oxygen, can feel the water all the way to its roots.

The best time to use a lawn scarifier, also commonly known as lawn raker, will depend on the weather and location but as a guide use when the lawn growth is at its most active in spring and early summer. As it’s towards the start of spring, it will give your turf plenty of time to recover and grow back even more verdant in the warmer months.

This helps air and water to move through this top layer of the soil and is also helpful if you’re feeding or sowing seed into your lawn. As you scarify the lawn with a WEIBANG Intrepid 384RB, the steel scarifying blades rotate to efficiently remove any build up of moss or dead grass which is often referred to as thatch from within the lawn. Cover the areas with chicken wire until the seeds start to grow, this will prevent birds from stealing them. Now that you have removed the top layer of thatch, you can use a little more pressure with your rake and push it a few millimetres deep into the soil.Scarifying greatly improves grass and soil conditions by removing thatch, moss and leaf build up thereby allowing air and light to get through.
