The way people aerate their gardens, promoting a healthy covering of grass whilst clearing out moss each year, is with the use of scarifiers for lawns. Anyone who values their turf and wants a great looking lawn knows that scarifying is necessary each year. Besides, watching all those clumps of moss and weed disappear is extremely satisfying!
When to scarify a lawn
moss can ruin a lawn
The whole reason for scarifying is to promote a healthier and stronger lawn so make sure this is the first part of your lawn maintenance plan. This annual job should then be followed by fertilising and any necessary lawn seeding.

If you forget to scarify and have already jumped forward to the lawn dressing and feeding stage, it is probably worth leaving any scarification until the Autumn. Size does matter so if you only have a tiny piece of lawn you don’t need a machine, you can simply use a good strong lawn rake and work a few calories off! It is very hard work done manually though so most people opt for one of the entry level lawn rakes or electric lawn scarifiers. Naturally for larger lawns and parcels of land you will need to look into petrol lawn scarifiers and also towed garden machinery for use with tractors and larger equipment.
These scarifiers for lawns are just a selection of a wise range of machines available and give a great overview of the types of models available and price choices.
