What do I need to consider before, during and after scarifying?

Approx. 14 days before scarifying, the lawn should beFertilizedso that the lawn has enough power to regenerate quickly after scarifying.

We recommend scarifying the lawn only in spring (May) and fall (September, October).

First, the lawn should be mowed briefly. It should not be too hot on the day of scarifying and the lawn and soil should be reasonably dry.

The blades of the scarifier should be set so that they cut approx. 2-3 millimetres into the ground, depending on the thickness of the felt.

It is best to always drive the scarifier in tracks so that these tracks overlap as little as possible. Driving in curves should be avoided.

The lawn can thus be scarified once lengthwise and once crosswise.

After scarifying, it is advisable to apply aReseedingand ourTurbo green lawn aeratorto be applied.
